Don't Tell Me
Connor Price Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't tell me you love me if you don't believe in
Believe in us
I remember way back when, when you told me I'm the one
Right from the jump, that's when I jumped in
Feet first deep into love I keep you above
Everything, everyone, that I got in my life
Talk every night, argue and fight
About another guy caught by surprise, Damn
Asking you where is your loyalty
Why do you keep on avoiding me
One day you love me you with me, you leaving the next
When I text you ignoring me
Guess I really wasn't just enough then
I was thinking husband, you were thinking nothing
I was singing songs and you were just there humming
Stringing me along, hold hands, but you bluffing
So, please
Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it
Don't tell me you love me if you don't believe in
Believe in us
You should have told me
You were just lonely
I would of not let my guard down for your lies
Patiently waited
Thought you were ready
The truth is we're just wasting each others time
Time wasted has gotta be the worst part
Cause I can deal with a broke heart
But the fears that I feel when I think about the years I won't get back
Talk about a set back, damn
I don't even know if I could trust again
I'm a fool for the love keep rushing in
Makes me think maybe I must admit
It's partly my fault I'm stuck in this
Cause we know it takes two to tango
Two steps back had to see that angle
Two left feet, on me, I got them
We just dancing around the problems now
But I guess better late than never
Wish that I didn't ever make the effort
But I know regret only gonna make my head hurt
Moved on from it, had to forget her
Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it
Don't tell me you love me if you don't believe in
Believe in us
You should have told me
You were just lonely
I would of not let my guard down for your lies
Patiently waited
Thought you were ready
The truth is we're just wasting each others time
Connor Price's song "Don't Tell Me" is about the consequences of insincere and dishonest love. The song expresses the hurt and frustration felt when promises and commitments are not fulfilled. The lyrics urge the partner not to make false declarations of love if they don't genuinely mean them or intend to stay in the relationship. The singer describes a failed relationship where his partner led him on, pretended to be interested in a future together, and misled him.
The chorus of the song, "Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it, Don't tell me you love me if you don't believe in, Believe in us," highlights the importance of honesty and sincerity in a relationship. The lyrics also depict the singer's progression from trust to doubt, belief to skepticism, and love to regret. The lines, "Time wasted has gotta be the worst part, Cause I can deal with a broke heart," suggest that the waste of time invested in a relationship can be more painful than a broken heart.
Overall, "Don't Tell Me" is a reflection of the complexities of romantic relationships, including the importance of communication, honesty, and commitment. The song speaks to those who have been in a relationship where trust was broken and promises were not kept.

Two steps back had to see that angle
We have taken several steps back, and now it's time to evaluate the situation
Two left feet, on me, I got them
I admit that I might have made some missteps or mistakes along the way
We just dancing around the problems now
We are avoiding the issues and not trying to resolve them
But I guess better late than never
It's better to take action now, even if it's later than it should have been
Wish that I didn't ever make the effort
Sometimes it feels like it would have been better if I had not even tried to get into a relationship with you
But I know regret only gonna make my head hurt
I realize that dwelling on the past and having regrets will only cause me more pain
Moved on from it, had to forget her
I have moved on from this relationship and had to forget about you
