Don't
Ecstasy Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey
An energetic and upbeat introduction to the song.

Good things, good things
Positive experiences in life.

Don't last forever
These experiences have an expiration date and eventually come to an end.

No, no, no, no
A repetitive reminder that nothing lasts forever.

And I won't be your good thing
The singer is no longer interested in being a part of the positive experience.

I won't be your good thing no more
The singer is reaffirming their stance of moving on from the relationship.

I remember how close
Reflecting on a time of intimacy and emotional closeness between two people.

We used to be, just you and me
The two people in the relationship were once inseparable and shared everything together.

But I found out that you
The artist discovered something negative about their partner.

Were using me, abusing me
The singer has been treated poorly and taken advantage of by their partner.

Confusing me
The whole situation has left the singer feeling uneasy and uncertain.

I used to be so blind
The singer was unaware of their partner's negative behavior in the past.

Now I see, you never wanted me
The singer realizes that their partner never truly cared for them.

Now you're out there all alone
The partner is now alone, possibly as a result of their mistreatment of the singer.

Looking for a home
The partner may be searching for a new relationship or a sense of belonging elsewhere.

Leave me alone
The artist wants nothing to do with their former partner moving forward.

It's the end of the line
The relationship is now over, with no hope of reconciliation.

Here's where it stops
The relationship has reached its breaking point and cannot continue.

You broke my heart
The singer is now experiencing heartbreak as a result of the failed relationship.

There was nothing on Earth
The singer felt that their former partner was deserving of everything they had to offer.

Too good for you, what did you do
Despite this, the partner did not reciprocate or appreciate the singer's efforts.

You blew it, fool
The partner foolishly ruined a good thing with the singer.

I gave you everything that I owned
The extent of the singer's investment in the relationship was significant.

You treated me so bad
Despite this investment, the partner still treated the singer poorly.

Now you don't want me no more
The partner has ended the relationship and no longer desires the singer's company.

Just walk out that door
The partner is encouraged to leave and not look back.

That's what I'm talking bout, boy
This line is directed towards the former partner, acknowledging their mistake of losing a good thing.

That's what my mama told me
The lesson of how 'good things don't last forever' is a common one passed down through generations.
