Don't
Don’t
Don't say things I wanna hear,
The words that you might say, will just get in the way
Don't, place your hands upon my skin,
If love's only in your hands, my heart won't understand
Don't give me too much of your time,
I might start to think, someday you'll be mine
If you think you're gonna love me but you know one day you won't
If you think you're gonna leave because we're taking different roads
If you think you're gonna love me tonight,
And someday that you won't...
Don’t speak tenderly to me
Don’t send me different signs, I can’t read between the lines
Don’t hold me in your arms,
Or brush the hair from off my face, if I am easily replaced
Don’t dare look me in the eyes,
Don’t confuse me with that smile, don’t linger on the line
If you think you're gonna love me but you know one day you won't
If you think you're gonna leave because we're taking different roads
If you think you're gonna love me tonight,
And someday that you won't...
Don't look at me so passionately
Don't say you care affectionately
Don't stand so close intentionally
Don't let me breathe you in...
If you think you're gonna love me but you know one day you won't
If you think you're gonna leave because we're taking different roads
If you think you're gonna love me tonight,
And someday that you won't... don't.

About The Song:
Don’t, was written in January of 2021. I was single and fairly fresh to the whole dating thing and scared as hell of falling for someone who wasn’t going to love me back. I’d been through enough and didn’t need another heart break in my life. Love is such an important thing for me. To be known and to be understood and well loved is one of the things that makes life worth living but not everyone feels like that. Some people just consume people in the same way you’d consume a cheeseburger. This song was a pleading; if you think you’re gonna love me tonight, but someday that you won’t - don’t.
