I Won’t Lyrics

[Chorus]
I won't do what you told me
I won't do what you said, no
I'm not gonna stop feeling
I'm not gonna forget it
I don't wanna start over
I don't wanna pretend that
You are not my lover
That you're only my friend

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you took my heart
You took it all
When you gave it back
It fell apart
So, oh

[Chorus]
I won't do what you told me
I won't do what you said, no
I'm not gonna stop feeling
I'm not gonna forget it
I don't wanna start over
I don't wanna pretend that
You are not my lover
That you're only my friend, friend
I won't
[Verse 1]
Well, maybe you're not right for me
Maybe it's just hard to see
I get lost in your beauty
And I just stop questioning

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you took my heart
You took it all
When you gave it back
It fell apart
So, oh

[Chorus]
I won't do what you told me
I won't do what you said, no
I'm not gonna stop feeling
I'm not gonna forget it
I don't wanna start over
I don't wanna pretend that
You are not my lover
That you're only my friend, friend
I won't

[Bridge]
Well, you say it's easier to burn than to build
You say it's easier to hurt than to heal
But I say you lose when you give up what you love
And I've lived my life without you long enough
So, oh
[Chorus]
I won't do what you told me
I won't do what you said, no
I'm not gonna stop feeling
I'm not gonna forget it
I don't wanna start over
I don't wanna pretend that
You are not my lover
That you're only my friend, friend
I won't

[Outro]
I won't (I won't do what you told me)
I won't (I won't do what you said, no)
I won't (I won't do what you told me)
I won't do what you said
No, I won't

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 [?]
