We Won't
Jaymes Young Lyrics

Don't go to war for me
Please don't go through great lengths or put yourself in harm's way for my sake, as I am not the person you want me to be.

I'm not the one that you want me to be
I am not the ideal person that you imagine me to be, and trying to change me into someone else would not be worth the effort.

Don't call me up at 2 A.M. tonight
It may feel good to have late night conversations, but it's not healthy or sustainable for our relationship.

It feels so damn good and I wish you would
As much as I want to resist, I still crave the temporary high of our late night talks and intimacy.

Are we just gonna stay like this forever
Is our relationship going to remain stagnant and unproductive indefinitely?

Floating, I'm serious
I feel disconnected and aimless, and it's a serious concern for me.

My heart is furious
My emotions are raging and I don't know how to deal with them.

Cause I'm so confused when we're together
I feel lost and unsure about us when we're physically in the same space.

Feels like I'm choking, these emotions
The weight of my emotions is too heavy and suffocating for me to handle.

I know I'm gonna let you down
I recognize that I can't meet your expectations and will inevitably disappoint you.

So don't hold your breath now, yeah
Don't wait for me to change or improve our relationship anytime soon.

Bittersweet in your mouth
Our relationship is a mix of pleasure and pain, which is difficult to swallow.

Can you stomach the doubt?
Are you able to tolerate and deal with the uncertainty and skepticism in our relationship?

I wish I could say what I'm feeling
I wish I could express all the confusion, frustration, and disappointment that I'm feeling in a clear and concise way.

I'm scared to let these words out
I fear being vulnerable and truthful with you because I don't want to hurt you.

And don't cry no more for me
Please don't shed tears over our failed relationship or try to convince me to stay.

Don't waste your time convincing me
Trying to persuade me to change my mind is futile, as I've already made up my decision.

That maybe someday we'll get it right
The possibility of a happy ending or successful future is unlikely or improbable for us.

'Cause we never could, I wish that we would but we won't
Despite our efforts and good intentions, our relationship has never succeeded and it's unlikely that it ever will.

I can't trust you
I am unable to fully trust you because I am afraid of getting hurt or let down.

Baby, 'cause I don't want to
I purposely avoid trusting you or getting too close because I know it will end badly.

This isn't fun anymore
Our relationship has stopped being enjoyable or fulfilling for me.

Never hurt like this before
I have never experienced pain, heartbreak, or disappointment on this level before.

Broken dishes on the floor
Our relationship is characterized by fighting, tension, and brokenness.

Hearts exploding
Our emotions are so strong and volatile that they feel like they're about to burst.

Tell me why I'm still holding
I am trying to understand why I'm still emotionally invested and attached to this failed relationship.

Onto the love that we've been breaking
Despite the fact that our love has been damaged, I still can't let go or move on.

Damn, I thought we'd make it
I had high hopes and expectations for us, but they were ultimately dashed and crushed.

No other way to say it (don't, don't, don't)
There's no easy or gentle way to express my negative feelings and thoughts towards our relationship, but I have to speak up and say something.

We burn faster than a cigarette in my mouth
Our relationship is intense, passionate, and short-lived, like the burning of a cigarette.

I know it hurts, but baby, we can't stop now
Even though our relationship is causing us pain and heartache, we can't seem to end it or move on.

So just don't
Let's not prolong the inevitable or make our situation worse by continuing our failed relationship.

We won't, so just don't
Despite our mutual desires and past attempts to change or fix our relationship, it's clear that nothing will work out between us.

But we won't, so just don't (we won't so just don't)
We've already tried and failed to make our relationship work, so it's best that we accept this fact and move on separately.

Don't
Let's not continue to cause each other pain, confusion, or heartbreak by holding onto a failed relationship.
