"how do you explain when it's the music that got you high?"

YOU AREN'T MY LOVE
i think i was afraid
i think that i was lost
but in your arms you found me
you danced in dreams around me
i think i might have strayed
i didn't know the cost
of a thousand nights of wonder
gone to rain clouds, gone to thunder

gone to bed
gone to sleep
gone to memories for you to keep
i should have said it long ago
before we dove too deep

you are not my love
oh but it's okay
what better way to pass the time
you are not my love
i'm sorry i can't stay
i'm sure without me you'll be fine
you aren't my love
you aren't my love
i'm sorry love, but you just aren't mine

i think that you should know
i'm taking back my heart
so go one home without me
erase those songs you wrote about me
i think you ought to go
i'll give you a good start
it's useless tryin to reason
i know that you were teasin

every night
on the floor
just a game till i walked out that door
it's time to throw the dice down
i'm not playing anymore

cause you are not my love
oh but it'll be okay
what better way to pass the time
you are not my love
i'm sorry i can't stay
i'm sure without me you'll be fine
you are not my love
you are not my love
i'm sorry love but you just aren't

a good enough excuse for hurting myself
you're not a good enough excuse for hurting myself
i want something new
i don't want you
(doo de doo de doooo.... etc)

you're not my love (doo de doo... etc)
you're not my love (doo de doo...)
you're not my love (doo de doo..)
...
i'm sorry love, but you're just not mine
