Not For You Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

{Words & Music: Hazel O'Connor} 

Don't promise you'll never leave me 

Cos, that would be a lie 

We don't perceive the change of time 

Tomorrow's the throw of the dice 

Believe me I have tried for you 

As much as I could 

But I wouldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't) 

I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't) 

I couldn't give up my freedom 

Not for you, or for anyone else (for you) 

I guess I've lived alone too long 

To make this compromise 

I know that this is hurting you 

I've seen that look in your eyes 

Oh, write me off as just another one 

Who couldn't live up to your ideals 

Cos I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't) 

I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't) 

I couldn't give up my freedom 

Not for you, or for anyone else (for you) 

So take a walk - (talk talk talk) 

So take a walk - (talk talk talk) 

So take a walk - (talk talk talk) 

To take a walk - blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 

Don't promise you'll never leave me 

Cos, that would be a gross lie 

We don't perceive the change of time 

Tomorrow's the throw of the dice 

Oh write me off as just another one 

Who couldn't live up to your ideals 

Cos I wouldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't) 

I couldn't (couldn't) I wouldn't (I wouldn't) 

I couldn't give up my freedom 

Not for you (not for you) 

I couldn't give up my freedom 

Not for you, (or for anyone else) 

I couldn't give up my freedom 

Not for you
