Don't
Ethan Johns Lyrics

God knows how I love you
I love you more than anything else in this world, and it feels both divine and uncontrollable.

Like a user needs a drug
My love for you is like an addiction; I crave you constantly and can't seem to live without you.

And I'll never be free of ya
I know deep down that I can't escape this addiction to you; it's a part of me now and will never let me go.

You are poison in my blood
Even though I love you so much, I also know that you are toxic for me and that our relationship is not healthy.

I tried to swim that river
I've tried to move past our relationship and find something better, but it feels like an impossible task.

And get to higher ground
I wanted to rise above the pain and heartache of our relationship, but it seems that every time I try, I'm dragged back under.

I been three times under
I've tried to leave you three times already, but each time I've failed and ended up back in your arms.

The next one'll see me drown
If I try to leave you again, I know that I'll be overwhelmed and won't be able to survive without you.

But I don't want to talk about it now
I don't want to discuss how much I love you and how much pain you cause me right now.

I want to go down
Instead of talking about our relationship, I'd rather just give in to my addiction and be with you.

God knows why you don't want me
I can't understand why you don't love me back; I'm willing to do anything for you and yet you still reject me.

No one would do the things I do
I go above and beyond for you, and I know that no one else would put up with the pain and heartache that you cause me.

But to my grave it's gonna haunt me
Even if I never tell anyone else, the fact that you don't love me back will haunt me for the rest of my life and beyond.

How I got down on my knees for you
I've begged you for your love and forgiveness, and I feel like I've humiliated myself in the process.

You are my obsession
I know that my love for you is bordering on an unhealthy obsession, but I can't seem to control it.

And the reason that I live
You are the only thing that gives my life meaning and purpose; without you, I would feel lost and alone.

You alreday got my soul
I've given everything I have to you, including my heart and soul, and I don't have anything else to give.

There's nothin left to give
I've given you everything I have, and there's nothing else left for me to offer you.

The devil is deep water baby
Our relationship is dangerous and risky, and it often feels like we're playing with fire.

And I'm in way over my head
I know that I'm in too deep with you, but I can't seem to stop myself from loving you.

But I'd be drawn and quartered
Even if our relationship ended in public humiliation or death, I would still choose to be with you.

If I could keep you in my bed
I would do anything to be able to hold you and be with you, even if it meant giving up everything else in my life.

I can't break this spell
I know that our relationship is unhealthy and potentially dangerous, but I can't seem to break free from your hold on me.

I know the trouble that I'm in
I understand that our relationship is problematic and that it could lead to my downfall, but I can't help how I feel about you.

But If I got out of the mouth of hell
Even if I were to escape our toxic relationship and find a way out, I know that I would still end up coming back to you.

I'd walk right back again
No matter what happens, I know that I'll always choose to be with you, even if it means sacrificing everything else in my life.
