I'm not gonna fall
not this time
I'm not gonna crawl
no no not this time
You had my heart
in both of your hands
you tried to tear it apart
but I refuse to be damned
Not this time
no no no
not this time
I gotta go
no this time
I tell you so
You think you're getting away with my soul
but not this time
Not this time
it's not the same
not this time
I refuse the pain
not this time
I know the game
no use even try to explain cause I'm not falling for it
not this time
I'm letting you win
not this time
I won't let you back in
not this time
you think all men are your toys
but not this time
I'm not a hurt little boy
not this time
There was a time when I trusted you
but came a day I refused to be your fool
you shoulda known somebody was on to you
but I am a differest sort of man
than anyone that you knew
Not this time
no no no
not this time
I gotta go
no this time
I tell you so
You think you're getting away with my soul
but not this time
Not this time
it's not the same
not this time
I refuse the pain
not this time
I know the game
no use even try to explain cause I'm not falling for it
not this time
