We Won’t Lyrics
Don't go to war for me
I'm not the one that you want me to be
Don't call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
[Verse 1: Jaymes Young]
Are we just gonna stay like this forever, floating?
I'm serious, my heart is furious
Cause I'm so confused when we're together
Feels like I'm choking, these emotions
I know I'm gonna let you down
So don't hold your breath now
[Pre-Chorus: Jaymes Young & Phoebe Ryan]
Bittersweet in your mouth
Can you stomach the doubt?
I wish I could say what I'm feeling
I'm scared to let these words out
[Chorus: Jaymes Young & Phoebe Ryan]
Don't go to war for me
I'm not the one that you want me to be
Don't call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
And don't cry no more for me
Don't waste your time convincing me
That maybe someday we'll get it right
Cause we never could, I wish that we would
But we won't, so just don't
We won't, so just don't
But we won't, so just don't
Don't
[Verse 2: Phoebe Ryan]
I can't trust you
Baby, cause I don't want to
This isn't fun anymore, never hurt like this before
Broken dishes on the floor
Hearts exploding
Tell me why I'm still holding
Onto the love that we've been breaking
Damn, I thought we'd make it
No other way to say it, don't, don't, don't
[Chorus: Jaymes Young & Phoebe Ryan]
Don't go to war for me
I'm not the one that you want me to be
Don't call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
And don't cry no more for me
Don't waste your time convincing me
That maybe someday we'll get it right
Cause we never could, I wish that we would
We burn faster than a cigarette in my mouth
(I know it hurts, but baby, we can't stop now)
(Baby, we can't stop now)
[Chorus: Jaymes Young & Phoebe Ryan]
Don't go to war for me
I'm not the one that you want me to be
Don't call me up at 2 a.m. tonight
It feels so damn good and I wish you would
And don't cry no more for me
Don't waste your time convincing me
That maybe someday we'll get it right
Cause we never could, I wish that we would
[Post-Chorus: Jaymes Young & Phoebe Ryan]
But we won't, so just don't
We won't, so just don't
But we won't, so just don't
(We won't so just don't)
Don't
Don't
Don't

I think originally, I had reached out to my manager after hearing some stuff she had done and we organized a little get together. I think it was that first day that I was in with her that we started writing “We Won’t.” It happened really fast over the course of one or two days. It was a really good experience.
– Jaymes Young in a 2017 interview with Billboard.
It’s kind of funny when songs happen so fast like that. It was super easy to work with Phoebe and sometimes you don’t gel super well with other people you collaborate with. When things happen that quickly and they feel that easy, you’re kind of surprised those turn out to be the best songs usually. It feels weird because you’re like, “Well I spent a month on this song, but it’s not doing so well, and spent two days on this song, and it’s doing really well.” I was surprised that it got the attention that it did.
Overall, I’m stoked and really happy. I think it’s been super fun to do a song that’s in a duet form with somebody else, because I get to hear that excitement with another artist, which is awesome.
