Don
Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I, and I hide them in the corners of my mind
All the memories, nothing I could sing.
I've learned so many things, but the bitterness remains.
I'm sick of drying everybody else's tears,
With nobody to dry mine.
Why do you break me every time?
I'm asking you, don't, don't forsake me.
Why do you break me? Again and again.
I can't make it alone.
All the judges and all the disarray.
You keep on trying me, but you're only pushing me away.
I don't want you to go, but I can't tell you're here.
You're just another soul that I'm making disappear.
See I'm sick of drying
Everybody else's tears, with nobody to dry mine.
I'm asking you don't, don't forsake me.
Why do you break me every time?
I'm asking you, don't, don't forsake me.
Why must you break me again and again?
I can't make it alone.
I'm sick of drying
Everybody else's tears,
With nobody to dry mine.
And don't, don't forsake me.
Why do you break me every time?
I'm asking you, don't, don't forsake me.
Why must you break me again and again?
I can't make it alone.
I can't make it alone.
In Duffy's song "Don," the singer reflects on the mistakes she has made and the people she has hurt in the process. The lyrics are written in a confessional tone as Duffy acknowledges the "casualties" she has left behind and the memories that continue to haunt her. She admits that despite learning from her mistakes, the bitterness remains.
The chorus of the song is a plea for someone not to forsake her and to stop breaking her. It's a cry for help, as Duffy confesses to being tired of drying everyone else's tears without anyone there to do the same for her. The line "I can't make it alone" is a vulnerable admission of her own weakness and a reminder that we all need someone to lean on.
Overall, "Don" is a powerful and emotional song about regret, self-reflection, and the importance of human connection. It reminds us that we are all capable of hurting others and that we need to take responsibility for our actions. At the same time, it's a reminder that we all need someone to lean on and that we shouldn't be afraid to ask for help when we need it.

Duffy and Scruffy Duffy, Two names with two different albums but it's the same band. Both very good. They keep the seventies live and kicking.
José Humberto Bevervanso
So glad I found this Duffy Vídeo. I recorded this song in the 70's in tape but it faded with time. Now I can listen to it back again...
