Don't Call Me
Bailey Bryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t call me yours
'Cause I′m not anymore
Don't call me beautiful
'Cause you didn′t before
Don′t call me out
When I'm just out here living my life
Don′t call me up
'Cause you know I′ll pick up in the middle of the night

I wanna kiss somebody else and not feel bad about it
I wanna feel honest when I say that I'm unattached but
You showing up and interrupting all my parties
You pull the same card, like some kind of game of "Sorry"
Quit saying sorry, you didn′t want me
Now I don't know you want from me

One text, hits me like a wrecking ball
Wish you'd get out of my head
And everywhere else you don′t belong

And don′t call me yours
'Cause I′m not anymore
Don't call me beautiful
′Cause you didn't before
Don′t call me out
When I'm just out here living my life
Don't call me up
′Cause you know I′ll pick up, in the middle of the night
Don't call me
Yeah
Please, don′t call me up, yeah

I renamed your number "Do Not Answer" so when you hit my phone
I remember if you really loved me, you would leave me alone
You'd be happy that I′m finally doing better
Lie and say that we were never good together
Or say whatever, you say whatever

Just don't call me yours
′Cause I'm not anymore
Don't call me beautiful
′Cause you didn′t before
Don't call me out
When I′m just out here living my life
Don't call me up
′Cause you know I'll pick up, in the middle of the night
Don′t call me
Yeah, yeah
Please, don't call me up
Yeah, yeah

One text, hits me like a wrecking ball
Wish you'd get out of my head
And everywhere else you don′t belong

And don′t call me yours
'Cause I′m not anymore
Don't call me beautiful
′Cause you didn't before
Don′t call me out
When I'm just out here living my life
Don't call me up




′Cause you know I′ll pick up, in the middle of the night
Don't call me (don′t call me)

Toxic relationship
Destroy you like vampire energy
You lost your heart power
You lost your energy
You lost your fam relationship
You lost your friends
You lost your self esteem
You lost your work
You lost your passion
You lost your selflove
You lost your pride
You lost your intuition
You lost your body
You lost your trust
Just because you love him too much but he never give you back and he always hurts you !
But Now Don’t call me yours cuz Im not anymore.
