Don't
DINING ROOM - Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
She said, "Don't you worry if I disappear"
I told her, "I'm not really looking for another mistake"
I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait
But then I jumped right in a week later, returned
I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
But I gave her my time for two or three nights
Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
She told me, "I was never looking for a friend
Maybe you could swing by my room around ten
Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM"
Baby, if you wanted me then should have just said, she's singing
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my home
I don't wanna know that, babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that, babe
And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her
We drink away the days with a takeaway pizza
Before, a text message was the only way to reach her
Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature
And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either
But me and her, we make money the same way
Four cities, two planes, the same day
And those shows have never been what it's about
But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch
But we should get on a plane or we'll be missing it now
Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out
When she was kissing him, how I was confused about
Now she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my home
I don't wanna know that, babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that, babe
On my hotel door
I don't even know if she knows what for
She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya
Trust and respect is what we do this for
I never intended to be next (you bastard)
But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all
And I never saw him as a threat (you bastard)
Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course
It's not like we were both on tour
We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different
This is not the way you realized what you wanted
It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
And all this time, God knows I'm singing
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my home
I don't wanna know that, babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that, babe
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my home
I don't wanna know that, babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that, babe
In the lyrics of "Don't" by Ed Sheeran, the singer recounts his experiences with a girl he met late last year. She initially expresses a nonchalant attitude towards their interactions, assuring him not to worry if she were to disappear. The singer, cautious of making mistakes, hesitates to dive into a relationship but ultimately decides to give her a chance. However, he senses that she may only be seeking a temporary lover. Despite this, he spends time with her for a few nights before putting their connection on hold until the timing feels right. The singer then takes a break from the situation, only to have their paths cross again later on.
As the relationship progresses, the girl's behavior shifts, indicating a deeper emotional involvement. They spend time together, enjoying simple pleasures like takeaway pizza and late-night conversations, suggesting a growing intimacy between them. However, the singer reflects on the changes in their dynamic and how their connection has evolved beyond casual interactions. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for a deeper connection and stability amidst the whirlwind of their shared experiences.
The narrative takes a turn when the singer discovers the girl's infidelity while they are staying in the same hotel. He expresses feelings of betrayal and hurt as he confronts the reality of her actions. The lyrics reveal a breakdown in trust and respect, highlighting the painful realization that their relationship was more than just a casual fling. The singer reflects on the emotional toll of the situation, grappling with the aftermath of her actions and questioning the authenticity of their bond.
In the poignant chorus of "Don't," the singer repeatedly emphasizes the importance of not toying with his emotions or love. The lyrics convey a mix of anger, hurt, and resignation as he tries to come to terms with the betrayal he has experienced. Through his emotional outpouring, the singer vocalizes his frustrations and desires for honesty and integrity in relationships. Overall, the song delves into themes of love, trust, and personal boundaries, resonating with those who have faced similar challenges in navigating the complexities of romantic connections.

@alibreton
Woke up alone in this hotel room
Played with myself, where were you?
Fell back to sleep, I got drunk by noon
I've never felt less cool
We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever be the first one to break?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way
I saw your friend that you know from work
He said you feel just fine
I see you gave him my old t-shirt
More of what was once mine
I see it's written, it's all over his face
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever say what you want to say?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way
Maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too
Maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too
Maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too
But you, you never do
Woke up the girl who looked just like you
I almost said your name
We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever say what you want to say?
Even my phone misses your call
We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever say what you want to say?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way

This song calmed my heart.
This song calmed my mind.
This song healed my soul.
This song helped me like nobody else did.
This song changed my heartbeat.
This song hugs me whenever I need it.
I will never be able to explain how much I love this song.
I will never be able to thank him for this song.
But one I know is that I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS SONG.
THIS SONG HAS MY HEART.
Thank you Harry, love you❤️
@shesthatgirl7
Has anyone ever noticed how most of Harry's music videos have displayed some sort of distress? The Falling mv is about slowly getting overcome with so much emotion that you start to drown in it,and he just keeps playing the piano, not seeing what is happening around him until it's too late. And then, when it drains out, he is panting really hard, showing that he is still in pain, but its getting better. The adore you mv shows a boy who is different from others, and is so much of an outcast that he brings
himself to the water, and puts rocks in his pockets so he can, you know, sink. And then he meets the fish who is having the same problem as him, and
he realized that they need eachother. He saved fish, and the fish saved him. Later when the fish leaves him, he follows, using his jar of screams from earlier
in the video to get his boat moving. He turned the negative in his life into a way to save himself and others. The Sign of the Times mv shows him flying, and when you connect itto the song,.you realize that he is flying because he is saying "it's time for you to go, dont worry, it will be okay". Like, we always
talk about Louis losing his family, and Zayns mental health, and Liams alcohol abuse, and Nialls physical struggles with his injuries and stuff, and all of that is horrible, but think about harry. He has gotten the most negative attention in the band since the beginning because of his "bad boy" and "womanizer" image. He has had to face so many people calling
him a "sex symbol" and the f slur TO HIS FACE. His stepfather Robin, who heabsolutely adored, passed away. Louis' mom, Jay, who was like a motherto him, passed away. Fizz, who was like a sister to him, passed away. One of his best friends killed themself, years ago, and be slightly talked about it during his interview with Zane Lowe, saying that
he always asks how people are because "you wish you could have just asked
'are you okay? just one last time". His
first real girlfriend, Carolin killed herself in February, because of all of the hate she was getting. He probably felt guilty because a lot of the hate she got
was because she dated him. And then he had to perform 'Falling" live, just a few days later. And there were so many other things that happened to him that
month. He had a show cancelled on his birthday, he was robbed at knifepoint That's literally his life. I feel like everyone always assumes that he is such a happy person, when in reality, he has gone through so much more than most people should ever have to. We need to think more about his mental health, and how
he is doing. This man devotes his life to
trying to make sure his fans are happy in
their own skin, and feel supported. We should do the same for him.
(Btw, I am 15 years old. I wanted to say my age so that people understand that you are never too young to understand, or try to make a difference when you see something that needs to be changed.)
@marina-ox5ef
the fact that when he sings 'maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too' in an optimistic tone and then it drops with the 'but you, you never do' makes me so sad. I'm crying now. bye.

@@marina-ox5ef Hi Marina :)
So i have been asking this question to many people but haven't got a reply yet. Can you please help me out?
This song says "we haven't spoke since you went away". I have heard many Larries saying Harry and Lou are still in contact, even married. Okay, leave the marriage part. But yes Harry was there at the time Lou's mom wasn't well and all. And this song was written around that time. So time period is relevant. Also he showed up with other boys to support Lou at x factor.
So why does this song look like talking about a person he doesn't talk at all.
Don't take me wrong, i respect your theory. This is a genuine doubt. Just wanna know..
