i wanna write a song thats not about love— AJ Mitchell (@ajmitchell) August 3, 2020
[Intro]
Ah, oh
[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' 'bout my past life
Tryna find the things that make me happy on a sad night
I kinda miss my friends from Belville
Only ones who know me more than anybody else will
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been lonely chasin' highs
Just wanna be with myself tonight
[Chorus]
I wanna write a song that's not about love
Not about love, not about love
Just tryna be the best I can be
And whatever makes me happy
I wanna write a song that's not about love
Not about love, turn that shit off
Just tryna be the best I can be
I just wanna write my story
[Post-Chorus]
That's not about love
That's not about love
That's not about love, yeah
That's not about love
[Verse 2]
I've been thinkin' 'bout my family
Only ones who know enough to really understand me, uh
Maybe I'm just gettin' older
But lately, I've be leanin' on a different kind of shoulder
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been lonely chasin' highs
Just wanna be with my friends tonight
[Chorus]
I wanna write a song that's not about love
Not about love, not about love
Just tryna be the best I can be
And whatever makes me happy
I wanna write a song that's not about love
Not about love, turn that shit off
Just tryna be the best I can be
I just wanna write my story
[Post-Chorus]
That's not about love
That's not about love
That's not about love, yeah
That's not about love
[Bridge]
Uh
That's not about love
That's not about love, oh
That's not about love, yeah
[Outro]
Oh
