Don't
Ed Sheeran feat. Rick Ross Lyrics

I met this girl late last year
I came across a woman last year

She said, 'Don't you worry if I disappear'
She assured me that I need not fret if she disappears

I told her, 'I'm not really looking for another mistake'
I made it clear that I wasn't interested in making the same mistake again

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait
I thought calling an old friend would help me avoid any potential trouble

But then I jumped right in a week later, returned
Despite my initial hesitation, I went back to her a week later

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
I suspect that she was only interested in using me for a short period of time

But I gave her my time for two or three nights
I spent a few nights with her

Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
I took a break from the relationship until the time was right

I went away for months until our paths crossed again
I didn't see her for several months until we ran into each other again

She told me, 'I was never looking for a friend
She made it clear that she wasn't interested in being friends with me

Maybe you could swing by my room around ten
She suggested that I come over to her room around 10 PM

Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
She asked me to bring a lemon and a bottle of gin

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM'
We'll be intimate with each other until the early hours of the morning

Baby, if you wanted me then should have just said, she's singing
She's singing that if I wanted to be with her, I should have just said so

Don't fuck with my love
Don't mess with my feelings for you

That heart is so cold
My heart is now cold towards you

All over my home
Your presence is now all over my home

I don't wanna know that, babe
I don't want to deal with this anymore

And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her
For a few weeks, she's the only one I want to see

We drink away the days with a takeaway pizza
We spend our days drinking and eating takeaway pizza

Before, a text message was the only way to reach her
Previously, the only way to contact 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 house and enjoys the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature
I'm singing out Aretha and it's heard throughout the song

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either
She never wants to sleep and I find myself staying up with her

But me and her, we make money the same way
Both she and I earn money in similar ways

Four cities, two planes, the same day
We travel to four different cities on two planes in the same day

And those shows have never been what it's about
Our shows have never been about the money

But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
Perhaps we'll go to the shows together and just go with the flow

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch
I'd rather watch a movie with you and just relax

But we should get on a plane or we'll be missing it now
We should hurry up and catch our flight or we'll miss it

Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out
I wish I had documented how things unfolded

When she was kissing him, how I was confused about
When I saw her kissing someone else, I was confused

Now she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing
She should figure it out while I'm here singing

On my hotel door
She is knocking on my hotel door

I don't even know if she knows what for
I'm not sure if she knows why she is here

She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya
She was crying on my shoulder, as I've already mentioned

Trust and respect is what we do this for
Trust and respect are the reasons why we are doing this

I never intended to be next (you bastard)
I never planned on being the next person she uses (you jerk)

But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all
But there was no need for her to sleep with him

And I never saw him as a threat (you bastard)
And I never considered him to be a threat (you jerk)

Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course
Until you vanished with him to have sex, that is

It's not like we were both on tour
We weren't both on tour at the same time

We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
However, we were staying on the same hotel floor

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

But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different
It was more than just fun, and I thought she was different

This is not the way you realized what you wanted
This is not how I expected her to realize what she truly wanted

It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
It's too much, too late for me to be honest

And all this time, God knows I'm singing
And all this time, I've been singing, only God knows
