But I Don'T
Jessia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pray to god it's not me
'Cause I'm doing better things than being yours
I know it's hard to believe
'Cause when you're asking why I'm not coming by
Honestly, I don't really care
And if I really wanted to I would
But honestly, I think that I am good
I don't really need to stick around
To watch you waste your life away
It's been a year and nothing's changed
If I really wanted to I would
If I really wanted to
But I don't (du da da du du da du du)
But I don't (da da du du da)
Hey, what you don't with that pretty face
I hope she fakes when she screams
Naw, I'm just playing but I kinda hate
Seeing you kiss in the streets
(Da da du du da)
But when you're asking why
I'm not coming by
Honestly, is that even a question
And if I really wanted to I would (hey)
Show up at your doorstep unannounced
But honestly, I think that I am good (okay)
I don't really need to stick around
To watch you waste your life away
It's been a year and nothing's changed
If I really wanted to I would (would)
If I really wanted to
But I don't (du da da du du da du du)
But I don't (da da du du da)
But I don't (du da da du du da du du)
(Da da du du da)
I could ask you a million times why it didn't work out
But would the answers change my mind
(Oh wow, riveting)
So go on and live your life
Hope you figure it out
'Cause I could ruin you if I tried
But I don't (du da da du du da du du)
(Da da du du da)
But I don't, but I don't, but I
But I don't
(Du da da du du da du du)
(Da da du du da)
(Da da da da dum)
