Don't Call Me
Laci Kaye Booth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Erased your picture, changed your name
In my phone, so I can′t see every bitter memory
Every time you call me
Don't call me
Take my name off your phone, pour the beer down the drain
So you wont be tempted, to call me
Don′t call me
'Cause I'm still going out of my mind
Thinking you′ll be right back by my side
I′ll be fine, once you're off my mind
I′ll be just okay, if you stay in your lane
And I wont miss a beat
I'll be back on my feet
If you just listen, please
And don′t call me
You say you love me once again
But you're lonely I can see
Why do I answer?
When you call me
Don′t call me
'Cause I'm still going out of my mind
Thinking you′ll be right back by my side
I′ll be fine once you're off my mind
I′ll be just okay
If you stay in your lane
And I won't miss a beat
I′ll be back in my feet
If you just listen, please
And don't call me
′Cause I'm still going out of my mind
Thinking you'll be right back by my side
But I′ll be fine once you′re off my mind
I'll be just okay
If you stay in your lane
And I wont miss a beat I′ll be back on my feet
If you just listen please
And don't call me
Erased your picture, changed your name
In my phone so I cant see, every bitter memory




Every time you call me
Don′t call me

Overall Meaning

Laci Kaye Booth's "Don't Call Me" is a heartbreak anthem that speaks to the pain and frustration of trying to move on from a toxic relationship. The first verse starts with Booth erasing her ex's picture and changing their name in her phone to avoid reliving the bitter memories associated with them. The chorus is a plea for her ex to stop trying to contact her and to let her move on. She wants to maintain her independence and not be held back by the emotional baggage that comes with their past. Booth questions why she even answers the phone when her ex calls, and acknowledges that they may still love her, but their motives are selfish and not conducive to her healing.


The second verse reiterates the chorus, with Booth expressing her desire to move past the pain and regain control of her life. She doesn't want to fall victim to her ex's manipulations and false promises. The repetition of the phrase "stay in your lane" also shows Booth's determination to maintain boundaries and not let her ex interfere with her healing process. The bridge of the song highlights Booth's inner turmoil, with her still hoping for reconciliation but ultimately needing to prioritize her own well-being.


Overall, "Don't Call Me" is a powerful reminder to anyone going through a breakup that it's okay to prioritize your own healing and not let your ex hold you back. It's a relatable and catchy song that can serve as an anthem of strength and self-respect.
