Don’t Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late night driving with my arm around your shoulder
We're not waking up your roommate so we’re coming through the back door
And I’m so okay now and I hardly ever think about her
Feels like we’ve been doing this longer than we have

[Pre-Chorus]
This feels like a safe place
But I’m still kinda changing
If I don’t stop this train it’s going on and on and on

[Chorus]
I thought time would change it but it won't
And there’s no good reason I should go
‘Cause I’m not much better on my own
But you know when you know and I don’t
You can’t pull water out of stone
And I can’t say anything went wrong
And it kills me leaving you alone
But you know when you know and I don’t

[Verse 2]
It’s a hard conversation that I’ve almost come to terms with
And I met your mom and brother and I know thеy really liked me
I wanna movе across the country, not worry about calling
‘Cause I've seen the way this goes and I don’t wanna go there
[Pre-Chorus]
This is gonna cut you
But I still kinda love you
But if I do this right it'll be alright, right?

[Chorus]
I thought time would change it but it won't
And there’s no good reason I should go
‘Cause I’m not much better on my own
But you know when you know and I don’t
You can’t pull water out of stone
And I can’t say anything went wrong
And it kills me leaving you alone
But you know when you know and I

[Bridge]
I don't wanna stop but I'm gonna walk away
‘Cause I know we're better off and someone's gotta say it
So I'm gonna cut this off before you waste four years just waiting

[Chorus]
I thought time would change it but it won't
And there’s no good reason I should go
‘Cause I’m not much better on my own
But you know when you know and I don’t
You can’t pull water out of stone
And I can’t say anything went wrong
And it kills me leaving you alone
But you know when you know and I don’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 [?]
