tonight



(Verse 1)
Been here before, same old road,
Heart of mine, getting heavy to hold.
I gave what I could, but never enough,
Realizing that love really is tough.

I’ve made my mistakes and paid the price,
I kept it real, and I sacrificed.
I gave my soul, my life, my all,
A time where I could say I had everything.
Under this roof, I had it all,
But I was a fool
To ever think love lasts forevermore.

[PreChorus]
So I learned to build up my walls
High enough to protect my soul.
Heartbreak’s the reason I don’t feel whole.

(Chorus)
I don’t wanna be in love anymore,
It’s too much to ask from a heart that’s sore.
I’ve given so much; now I’m keeping the rest,
‘Cause loving myself is what I do best.
I don’t wanna be in love anymore,
Not chasing something that feels unsure.
I’ll rebuild the pieces that I ignored,
And find my strength once more.

(Verse 2)
I’m not bitter, just tired of the fight,
Tried to light a fire, but it never burned bright.
No one’s to blame, it’s just how it goes;
Sometimes love fades, and nobody knows.

I’ve learned to accept the scars that I bear;
They tell a story, but I’m still here.
Still got a lot to give, I’m sure,
But way too afraid it’ll be like before.
So I might be done, closing this door.
Got no regrets for the love I’ve shown,
And this time, I’m better off on my own.

(PreChorus)
Ohhh ohhh ohh
It’s not the past, it’s not the pain,
It’s the lessons I’ve gained.
Every time I gave, I just lost my way,
So now I’m choosing me today.

(Chorus)
I don’t wanna be in love anymore (no more),
It’s too much to ask from a heart that’s sore.
I’ve given so much; now I’m keeping the rest,
‘Cause loving myself is what I do best.
I don’t wanna be in love anymore (no more),
Not chasing something that feels unsure.
I’ll rebuild the pieces that I ignored,
And find my strength once more.

(Bridge)
It’s not about running or closing the door,
It’s about finding the life I was meant for.
I don’t hate love, but I need to heal,
To figure out what’s real.

(Chorus)
I don’t wanna be in love anymore,
It’s too much to ask from a heart that’s sore.
I’ve given so much; now I’m keeping the rest,
‘Cause loving myself is what I do best.
I don’t wanna be in love anymore,
Not chasing something that feels unsure.
I’ll rebuild the pieces that I ignored,
And find my strength once more.

(Outro)
No apologies, no looking back,
This is my time to get on track.
I’ll stand alone, but I’ll stand tall,
‘Cause loving myself means I have it all.

Don’t wanna be in love anymore…
Don’t wanna be in love anymore…
(No more… no more… oh no more…)



I Don't Wanna Be In Love Anymore

So LonG

[Intro]
Oooooh ooooh ooooh…
mmm... mhmm...
Oh-oh, ohhh…

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooooh, pull me closer
Ooooh, don’t let go
Did you need me or just the feeling?
Did you love me or was I just a name to say?

[Chorus]
Love me
Tell me what is real tonight
Hold me close, don’t turn away
Was I just passing time for you? (just passing time, for you...)

[Verse 1]
I felt your name on my lips…
But I didn’t dare say it out loud…
Would you answer me…
Or just let me drown?
Every door you left half-open…
Every promise you half-told…
Did you really mean it?
Or was I just something to hold?

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooooh, pull me closer
Ooooh, don’t let go
Every touch, takes me higher
I lost myself in you tonight

[Chorus]
Love me
Tell me what is real tonight
Hold me close, don’t turn away
Was I just passing time for you? (just passing time, for you...)

[Bridge]
Now the silence starts to sink in…
Like when your hand once held mine…
Every whisper you left behind…
I hear it now…
Yeah…
I can’t ask you twice…
Because I already know…
I already know…

[Chorus]
Love me
Tell me what is real tonight
Hold me close, don’t turn away
Was I just passing time for you? (just passing time, for you...)

[Outro]
Did you ever, did you ever? …
Did you love me?... (love me)
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oh-oh, ohhh…
Did you ever, did you ever? …
Did you ever really love me?... (love me)
Mmmmh, mmmh…
Oh-oh, ohhh…

Did You Ever

Velvet heels on shattered glass
You said, “Love me like I won’t last”
You twist the blade with painted grace
And I still kiss your ghost each day

Mirror cracked, you traced your name
In blood and blush, we played that game
You begged for pain in diamond tones
But cried when I made hell your home

Babe, you bleed so easy
Drip like red on ivory
Say it’s love, but it’s too needy
You bruise just to believe me
Babe, you bleed so easy
And I still want you deeply
You're the wound I keep reopening
The curse I keep repeating

Chanel smoke in your sad laugh
You stitched your lies in velvet wraps
I carved your name in midnight rooms
You left your scent, then left too soon

Satin chains and wine-stained sheets
You said the thrill was in deceit
I watched you dance with broken wings
Swan dive into my suffering

Babe, you bleed so easy
Drip like red on ivory
Say it’s love, but it’s too needy
You bruise just to believe me
Babe, you bleed so easy
And I still want you deeply
You're the wound I keep reopening
The curse I keep repeating

You're not the victim, you're the scene
A film noir queen in amphetamines
We wrote our vows in gasoline
And lit a match just to feel clean

Babe, you bleed so easy
Drip like red on ivory
Say it’s love, but it’s too needy
You bruise just to believe me
Babe, you bleed so easy
And I still want you deeply
You're the wound I keep reopening
The curse I keep repeating

Love like this don’t come with mercy
Babe, you bleed so easy...
And I bleed just to keep you near me

Babe, You Bleed So Easy
