I´m Not the One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not the one
That you'll be shootin' for
I'm not the one
Who's coming back for more (you know why)
We've been through this so many a-times (you know why)
It's never clear it's pantomime
Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Never lettin' down
I'm not the one
Whose memory you still keepin'
I'm not the one
Who's talkin' in your sleep (you know why)
I don't have to tell you twice (you know why)
Knew you when you weren't so nice
Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Never touchin' down
I'm not the one
That you'll be breakin' in
And I'm not the one
That you'll be takin' in (you know why)
Tried and tried to crack the shell (you know why)
When you fake it's hard to tell
Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)
(round and round)
Goin' round and round
(round and round round and round and round and round)
Goin' round and round (round and round)
('cause you can't get on your feet)
Goin' (round and round still takin' all the heat)
(round and round)
('cause you can't get on your feet (round and round)
(still takin' all the heat (round and round)
('cause you can't get on your feet (round and round)
(still takin' all the heat)…
