Not For Me

Part 1 — The Song-Inspired Reflection

I was searching for answers At the crime scene where you’re tangled too deep. 


Found a note, a number, Just another clue — and it leads straight to you.

A shadow of doubt crept in, A feeling that you weren’t true to me.

I should’ve known better than to swallow your lies.

You might fool the world, but I see through your disguise — You’re not the one for me, babe.

No, no, uh-uh.


Nothing will ever be the same again with you.

No, no, uh-uh.

Now I see where this is headed.

No, no, uh-uh.

If you think this is what love’s supposed to be,

Let me tell you — it’s not for me.

I won’t be a character in your screenplay, Did you rehearse your lines on me?


What’s the story?

Who wins — me or him?

Caught in the crossfire,

I’m tired of this endless game of hide and seek.

I’m getting the feeling it’s time for me to leave.

You can fool anyone, but not me — I see who you really are.

No, no, uh-uh (yeah, yeah).


Things will never be the same with you.

No, no, uh-uh (oh).

Now I know what it’s coming to.

No, no, uh-uh (yeah-eah).

If you think this is how love should be, Let me tell you — it’s not for me.

Yeah, yeah, I said no, no.


No way.

No, no, no, no.

I’ve had enough of your games, your lies — And they won’t just disappear.


Don’t try to justify my reasons to stay.

No, no, uh-uh.

Let me hear you say it — no, no.

No, no, uh-uh.

Let me tell you — it’s not for me.

No, no, uh-uh.


If you think this is what love should be,

Let me tell you — it’s not for me.

No, no, uh-uh (whoo).

Things will never be the same again with you.

No, no, uh-uh (baby).

Now I know what it’s coming to.

No, no, uh-uh (yeah-eah).

If you think this is how love should be, Well, let me tell you — it’s not for me.


Part 2 — My Truth

I guess it’s too soon to start all over again.

Maybe love, this time, isn’t meant for me.

I should’ve listened to my heart’s quiet warning: It’s too early to open that door again.

I know myself — I’m the type who can’t stand being alone, Someone always needs to be beside me.


So I act tough, brave — pretending I don’t need anyone.

I keep repeating the magic mantra: “I don’t need a man, I don’t need commitment.”


What I truly need now is me time and a mountain of work.

It’s time to work harder than ever before.

No room for distractions — This moment is for me, family, friends, and the grind.

Yet deep down, I know better.


I realize I’m craving someone to share it all with — Feelings, dreams, goals, the messy beautiful chaos of life.

That special someone is out there somewhere, Even if I haven’t found them yet.

I’m not complaining about my life right now, Or the twists it’s taken.

But sometimes, I miss having that person — The one who’ll cheer every wild, crazy dream I dare to dream, Share silly little stories with me,
Hold the darkest secrets of our past, And together, build a little family filled with love.

When I see young couples with their children, Or expectant parents glowing with hope, I can’t help but feel a flicker of jealousy — Not for their happiness, but for the timing — Wondering when it’ll be my turn.

To have a home of my own, A loving husband, Two or three adorable kids running around.

Until then, I’ll wait patiently.


Doing my best not to stumble twice.

I’ll protect my heart better this time.

No more past mistakes — only lessons learned.

For now, it’s me time, family, best friends, work — And a little fun sprinkled in, Careful that no one gets hurt while I’m finding my way.
