Don't
John Mayer/Ed Sheeran Lyrics

I met this girl late last year
I started seeing this girl sometime last year

She said, "Don't you worry if I disappear"
She assured me that I shouldn't worry about her leaving

I told her, "I'm not really looking for another mistake"
I informed her that I wasn't interested in making another negative decision regarding relationships

I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait
I reached out to a friend, hoping that whatever difficulties were coming would wait

But then I jumped right in a week later, returned
Despite my hesitation, I got back into the situation a week later

I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
I believe she was only interested in a physical relationship that would eventually end

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 stopped pursuing a further relationship with her until the timing was better

I went away for months until our paths crossed again
I left for a few months, and then we saw each other again

She told me, "I was never looking for a friend"
She informed me that she wasn't interested in being friends

Maybe you could swing by my room around ten
Perhaps you could come over to my room at ten

Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
Bring some lemon and gin

We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM"
We'll spend time in bed until late in the morning

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

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

That heart is so cold
My emotions have been hurt so much that they are now cold

All over my home
My emotions are affecting every aspect of my life

I don't wanna know that, babe
I don't want to hear any more about it

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 would drink and eat pizza together for days

Before, a text message was the only way to reach her
Previously, the only way to contact her was through texting

Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
Now she's staying with me and enjoys the way I treat her

Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature
We were singing loudly to Aretha Franklin's music

And never wants to sleep, I guess that I don't want to either
She doesn't want to sleep, and I guess I don't really want to either

But me and her, we make money the same way
But she and I make money in a similar manner

Four cities, two planes, the same day
We would travel to four cities in a day, using two different planes

And those shows have never been what it's about
The shows we do are not what our relationship is about

But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
Maybe if we go together, we can figure things out

I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch
I'd rather spend time with you, watching a movie on a couch

But we should get on a plane or we'll be missing it now
But we should get on a plane, or we'll miss something important

Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out
I wish I had kept better track of how things went

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

Now she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing
Now she should figure things out, while I sit here, singing this song

On my hotel door
She knocked on the door to my hotel room

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

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
We are in this relationship based on trust and respect

I never intended to be next (you bastard)
I didn't plan to be involved with her after the person she had been with prior to me

But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all
But she didn't need to have sex with him

And I never saw him as a threat (you bastard)
I didn't think he was a threat to our relationship, but now he is

Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course
Until she disappeared with him to have sex, making him a threat

It's not like we were both on tour
It's not like we were both away on tour

We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
We were staying on the same hotel floor

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
It wasn't ever just for fun, and I thought she was different than other women

This is not the way you realized what you wanted
This is not the way that you came to the conclusion of what you wanted

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

And all this time, God knows I'm singing
And all this time, I sing, knowing only God really knows what's happening
