Verse 1
I just don't understand
Why is it you can't see
He's messing with your heart
I just can't let this be
He's leaving you at home (party)
While he's out playing free (he does)
He does things you don't know (no no no)
And girl it's breaking me cause
Cause you're innocent of the rules he bent
Say he's had his fun, tell him that he's done
It's not what you deserve, you need honest love
When your heart is mine there will come a time
Chorus
It's not like there's forgiveness
It's not like he means what he says
I wont be the fool he is
I wont break your heart like this
It's not like he don't hurt you
It's not like what he says is true
I wont break your heart like this (repeat)
Why's it just gonna be
Why's it you wanna stay
Love's meant to be for free
Pain is the price you pay
It's not like that I would do (would do)
It's not like that I would say (because)
Cause girl I'm in love with you
I won't break your heart that way
Cause you're innocent of the rules he bent
Say he's had his fun, tell him that he's done
It's not what you deserve, you need honest love
When your heart is mine there will come a time
Chorus
It's not like there's forgiveness
It's not like he means what he says
I wont be the fool he is
I wont break your heart like this
It's not like he don't hurt you
It's not like what he says is true
I wont break your heart like this (repeat)
Bridge
Not like he would do something better for you
Not like he's the one no he's not the one
Don't deserve no appease
No like your turning back you'll do better than that
I'm like here for you when you're seein it through
I'm like sayin this I'm sayin this
I won't break your heart like this (repeat)
Chorus Out
