Not for Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm high with the sun, I'm risin'
Still wonderin' what you are to me
Twenty-one and indecisive
On the edge of all the wrong choices
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I mature enough to receive your love?
I know I'm mad enough
I hope you're man enough
[Chorus]
These words I speak
All that I see
Adore me
But your love, not for me
No, it's not for me
[Verse 2]
Wonderin' where all my friends have gone
Where did my city go?
Twenty-two and still indecisive
But it's fine 'cause I'm packin' up, packin' up, mmm, packin' up
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I mature enough to receive your love?
I hope you're man enough
You knew I was mad from the start
[Chorus]
These words I speak
All that I see
Adore me
But your love, not for me
No, it's not for me
[Bridge]
Blame it on white lines and late nights
Friday night, I am the city type
Fall apart, bad boys, and city lights
Wrong crowd, I always wonder if you see me now
Runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round
Runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round, yeah
(Runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round) Mm-mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Was I mature enough to receive your love?
I know you're man enough
I know I'm mad in love
[Chorus]
All I see
Your body on me
Adore me
But your love, ooh

What did Celeste say about "Not for Me"?
“Not For Me” is a song about unrequited love and falling out of love with the city that I grew up in, London. When we were in [the] studio, my producers Tev'n and JD Reid began to play around with guitar sounds and we wrote the song within a few hours. A few weeks later, when wrapping up the EP, we...
