Don't
Ed.Sh Lyrics

I met this girl late last year
Last year I met a girl who caught my attention.

She said, "Don't you worry if I disappear"
She assured me that if she disappears, there's no need to worry about it.

I told her, "I'm not really looking for another mistake"
I made it clear to her that I'm not interested in making another mistake with a woman.

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait
I reached out to an old friend hoping that this woman trouble would go away.

But then I jumped right in a week later, returned
However, I jumped right back into this woman's life a week later.

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
I believe that this woman was only interested in having a fling.

But I gave her my time for two or three nights
I spent a few nights with her, giving her my time and attention.

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
After our time together, I took a break from her until the timing felt right again.

I went away for months until our paths crossed again
I left for a few months, but eventually crossed paths with her again.

She told me, "I was never looking for a friend
She admitted to me that she was never interested in being friends with me.

Maybe you could swing by my room around ten
However, she invited me to come to her room at ten o'clock.

Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
She requested that I bring a bottle of gin and some lemons with me.

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM"
She suggested that we spend the night together in bed until morning.

Baby, if you wanted me then should have just said, she's singing
She's singing about how if I wanted her, I should have just told her instead of playing games.

Don't fuck with my love
She warns not to mess with her love.

That heart is so cold
She explains how her heart is cold due to being hurt in the past.

All over my home
Her emotions are affecting her entire living space.

I don't wanna know that, babe
She doesn't want to know about any cheating or betrayal.

And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her
I only wanted to see her for a couple of weeks.

We drink away the days with a takeaway pizza
We spent our time together drinking and eating takeout pizza.

Before, a text message was the only way to reach her
Before, the only way I could reach her was through a text message.

Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
Now she's staying at my place and appreciates the way I treat her.

Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature
We listen to Aretha Franklin and sing along together.

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either
We stay up late and neither of us feels the need to sleep.

But me and her, we make money the same way
Both she and I make money the same way - through music and performances.

Four cities, two planes, the same day
We are constantly traveling to perform in four different cities on two planes in the same day.

And those shows have never been what it's about
Our shows are not the reason why we enjoy each other's company.

But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
However, we might go to shows together and try to figure out the next steps in our relationship.

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch
Personally, I prefer to stay in with her and watch a movie on the couch.

But we should get on a plane or we'll be missing it now
However, we should also prioritize getting on the plane to make it to our next shows on time.

Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out
I regret not writing down how our story played out.

When she was kissing him, how I was confused about
I was confused when I saw her kissing another man.

Now she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing
Now she should figure out what she wants in our relationship while I sing about our issues.

On my hotel door
She showed up at my hotel room door uninvited.

I don't even know if she knows what for
I'm not even sure if she knows what she wants from me.

She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya
She came to me for comfort and I already told her how I feel about our situation.

Trust and respect is what we do this for
I explain how trust and respect are essential in our relationship.

I never intended to be next (you bastard)
I never meant to be the next person in her line of men (calling her a name in anger).

But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all
I didn't think she needed to sleep with him; it was unnecessary.

And I never saw him as a threat (you bastard)
I never viewed him as a threat until she slept with him (again, calling her a name in anger).

Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course
However, she disappeared with him to have sex, which changed everything.

It's not like we were both on tour
We weren't both on tour, so there was no need for her to sleep with someone else.

We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
We were still in the same hotel, making it even more hurtful.

And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment from her.

But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different
However, our time together was not just casual fun; I thought she was different from other women.

This is not the way you realized what you wanted
I don't understand how her cheating is how she realizes what she wants.

It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
It's now too late to make things right between us - it's too much to handle now.
