LYRICS: NOT FOR ALWAYS- DIIA ---PROD. G-VINE & C.C.

Chorus:

Love for now,
Not love for always.
Feelings that I can’t maintain (Ah, Ahhh)
Beyond blue skies,
That have now gone grey.
Need the sun ‘fore it fades. (Ah, Ahhh)

Verse:

I gave you my heart, (heart)
But you tore it apart. (part)
Left me standing in the dark,
Hoped that you’d leave me without any scars.
Oh.

Now I looked at you today,
And the road that you had paved. (paved)
Seemed like I was just a slave,
Filled with thoughts for a better yesterday. 
Oh.

You said somethings wrong with me,
But its the opposite you see.
Looks like we weren’t meant to be.
Lucky for all the other fishies in the sea.

Chorus:

Love for now,
Not love for always.
Feelings that I can’t maintain (Ah, Ahhh)
Beyond blue skies,
That have now gone grey.
Need the sun ‘fore it fades. (Ah, Ahhh)

Verse:

I pushed ‘till I fell, (fell)
Like I was under a spell. (spell)
Yeah I try not to dwell,
Its in the past, so I say oh well. 
Yeah
Been creepin’ me to this day,
You just can’t stay away. (way)
Boy you should be afraid,
Cuz baby karma is a comin’ your way.
Yeah.

It’s plain as can be, (as can be)
We ain’t complimentary.
Done with begging on my knees,
Looking for someone who would treat me like a queen.

Chorus:

Love for now,
Not love for always.
Feelings that I can’t maintain (Ah, Ahhh)
Beyond blue skies,
That have now gone grey.
Need the sun ‘fore it fades. (Ah, Ahhh)


musical breaks with ambient vocals


Bridge:

Now or never.
Now or never.
I won’t stay with you forever

(I won’t stay, No, I won’t stay)


Chorus:

Love for now,
Not love for always.
Feelings that I can’t maintain (Ah, Ahhh)
Beyond blue skies,
That have now gone grey.
Need the sun ‘fore it fades. (Ah, Ahhh

Outro:

I tried everything I could, (everything I could)
To give what a woman should, (what a woman should)
To him. 
Oh. (Ohhh)

It’s enough when it’s enough, (enough when it’s enough)
Compromised by your touching me.
Oh. (Ohhh)

Chorus:

Love for now,
Not love for always.
Feelings that I can’t maintain (Ah, Ahhh)
Beyond blue skies,
That have now gone grey.
Need the sun ‘fore it fades. (Ah, Ahhh)
