But Not Tonight (Extended Remix) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh God, it's raining, but I'm not complaining
It's filling me up with new life
The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years

[Verse 2]
Just for a day on a day like today
I'll get away from this constant debauchery
The wind in my hair makes me so aware
How good it is to live tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years

[Chorus]
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
But they're not like tonight

[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Oh God, it's raining and I'm not containing
My pleasure at being so wet
Here on my own, all on my own
How good it feels to be alone tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
And I haven't felt so alive
In years

[Chorus]
The moon is shining in the sky
Reminding me of so many other nights
When my eyes had been so red
I'd been mistaken for dead
But not tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
