Not My Love

Lirik

[Verse 1] You found a note beneath the coffee tin A name you didn't know, a door I didn't lock You asked me where I'd been, I said the corner store But rain was on my jacket and the clock said half past four [Pre-Chorus] I can see the question in your eyes I can hear the floorboards tell on me If the truth is standing at the door Why am I still reaching for the key? [Chorus] She is not the one I promised you Not the hand I hold when the morning comes I can say it till the words turn blue But a lie still weighs a ton She is not the one, no, not my love Still you know exactly where I've been I keep pushing every question off While the silence lets you in [Verse 2] Your silver ring was waiting by the sink Beside a lipstick mark I couldn't wash away You folded up your coat and counted every breath I told you I was tired; you heard what I left unsaid [Pre-Chorus] I can see the question in your eyes I can hear the floorboards tell on me If the truth is standing at the door Why am I still reaching for the key? [Chorus] She is not the one I promised you Not the hand I hold when the morning comes I can say it till the words turn blue But a lie still weighs a ton She is not the one, no, not my love Still you know exactly where I've been I keep pushing every question off While the silence lets you in [Bridge] Take the train before the first bell rings Take the photograph beneath the books I could build a thousand alibis You would only have to look [Final Chorus] She is not the one I promised you Not the hand I hold when the morning comes I can say it till the words turn blue But a lie still weighs a ton She is not the one, no, not my love Now the room has said what I won't say I keep pushing every question off But you're already on your way [Outro] Not my love That is what I said Not my love With your suitcase by the bed
