Lyrics

You’re Not Worthy

I ain’t told you what was said
It don’t come easy to leave my head
A lot of lies and twisted words will take it’s toll
But I won’t leeeeet it have control

You’re not worthy of my love
You’re not worthy of my kisses
Too many times you held me back
But I don’t need a love like that
These heavy words that leave me flat
I will never be coming back
Oh no no, no no no

A few year later I hear from you
The pleading in your voice is nothing new
I’m reminded of how you held too tight
All your fear crushed our light

You’re not worthy of my love
You’re not worthy of my kisses
Too many times you held me back
But I don’t need a love like that
These heavy words that leave me flat
I will never be coming back
Oh no no, no no no

Afraid of loosing me, afraid of loosing us
Squeezing too hard unable to trust
I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t see
Who I was loosing sight of me
No no no no, no no no no


You’re not worthy of my love
You’re not worthy of my kisses
You’re not worthy of my love
You’re not worthy
You’re not worthy
