Lyrics

AIN’T MY LOVER
There’s a note still sat upon my bedside table
It’s a throwback to a time when there was us
It says, ‘I’ll be waiting for you underneath the blankets I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone’
There’s a fragrance and it lingers in the hallway It’s a mixture of our past and moving on Saturday morning; I know where I can find you But we’re too far gone
You say, ‘You’ve got to let me go’ In my heart of hearts I know
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love you
As my heart takes one last breath down on the floor I’d be lying if I said that I did not care about you But, babe, you ain’t my lover anymore
There’s a pool of regret laying on the surface But the feeling of betrayal cuts to the core
I always saw you as the one that I could turn to But I don’t feel like that no more
You say, ‘You’ve got to let me go’ In my heart of hearts I know
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love you
As my heart takes one last breath down on the floor I’d be lying if I said that I did not care about you But, babe, you ain’t my lover anymore
And for years I longed for some kind of connection How I prayed that you would open up your arms And as you held me as I broke down in the kitchen An embrace born out of sorrow more than love
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still love you
But my heart it speaks a truth I can’t ignore
I’d be lying if I said that I did not think about you But, babe, you ain’t my lover anymore
If I get good news
I want to share it with you
When I’m feeling blue
It’s you I want to call
But then I stop myself
‘Cause what good would it do me
Oh, babe, you ain’t my lover any more
