Description
Written as a stream of consciousness, "Not For Me" is one of my most personal and emotional songs. I wrote it in one go on a dreary, lonely night that was particularly haunted by ghosts of my past. This is my favorite song that I have written. I literally take on a different character when I sing it and it always takes me back to that night.
Lyrics
Shouldn't life be easy now Now that I'm over you Shouldn't I be able to breathe Now that I'm over you Why do I care And why can't I laugh And why do I fall to pieces Every time I see your photograph Is it because I'm not Over you But I know I can't go Where you lead Not anymore So I'll try To hide But it hurts so much inside And I know I know You're not for me I tried to tell you Time and time again But love is blind and you decided not to see When I told you what I need And I know It's not fair But I can't Be there So I'll try To hide But it hurts so much inside And I know I know You're not for me I know You're not for me Shouldn't life be easy now Now that I'm over you
