Perrie and (Jade):
Moving on, moving on
You can't kill my vibe
Not a tear's gonna fall from my eyes
(No time for tears)
Jade:
I was feeling broken hearted
Until I pressed restart yeah
I'm moving on moving on, don’t wanna hit rewind
I was sad before, but not anymore
Leigh-Anne:
I don't need your sorry
This ain't a pity party
I’m not tryna be funny
But I ain't got the time babe
Perrie:
No time for tears I won't be crying
Don't need you here, I'm doing fine yeah
You see I'm moving on, moving on, you can't kill my vibe
Not a tear's gonna fall from my eyes

Lady Leshurr:
Yo, Lesh
No time for tears (Nah)
I coulda shedded a whole type of tears
I been doing this long time, for years
Bad energy, that won't persevere
Yeah, tell a boy, "move for me"
You're not there, you just care about your jewelry
Man, I swear, that's the man you wanna choose to be?
You're unfair, always tryna make a fool of me (Uh-uh)
Why did you do this to me? (Why?)
You fight it and knew you'd bruise me
Slyly you knew this truly
No time for the loose excuses
I've found myself again
Tears are how they end, hold it down, pretend
Karma too sweet like a pick 'n' mix
Nathan Dawe, Lesh and Little Mix
