Don
Leona Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All those tears from yesterday,
they didn't wash away the pain
So long overdue
Those tears were for you
Don't say you love me again
just because you see the end
Don't act like you care
It's too late to pretend

I never wanted to burn out bridges
but I'm so tired
It's so hard to walk away
but I can't wish for yesterday

(Oh) I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
But it's so hard
when you don't care anymore
Our love was amazing
Now it's not worth saving
Something tells me you don't care
You don't care anymore

Someday soon you'll understand
when no one's there to hold your hand
When loneliness is
your only friend
I'm not saying there won't be
another time for you and me
I won't let love die
or let you hurt me again

Never wanted to burn out bridges
but I'm so tired
I don't wanna walk away
but I can't wish for yesterday

(Oh) I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
But it's so hard
when you don't care anymore
Our love was amazing
Now it's not worth saving
Something tells me you don't care
You don't care anymore

Someday when you're all alone
When you've got no hand to hold
You will think of me
I don't wanna lose you
Don't wanna lose you
Something tells me you don't care
You don't care

(Oh) I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
But it's so hard
when you don't care anymore
Our love was amazing
Now it's not worth saving
Something tells me you don't care
You don't care anymore

Anymore
You don't care anymore
(Oh oh oh)
You don't care anymore




You don't care
You don't care anymore

"Don't Let Me Down"

(feat. Justin Timberlake)






Fork in the road,

Looking both ways, I,

Don't know which way to go.

What do I count on?

Is it the road less traveled?

Or the one I already know?



And no I'm not traveling alone.

I got my heart in my hand, And,

You can bet I'm holding it close.



Don't wanna climb,

Don't wanna fall,

Don't know where to start it all.

I can start by taking it slow.



First I need a, hero,

I got a, mirror,

Looking inside of my soul.

If I need a, hero,

I got my, mirror,

Gotta go on with the show.



I got my ear to the ground;

That's the sound of my train comin' 'round.

This is a chance for us to be heard loud.

It's you and me,

And it's our time now.

Don't let me down.



[Justin Timberlake:]

Don't let me down,

Don't let me down now,

Don't let me down,

Don't let me down now.



[Leona Lewis:]

People!

This is what you're living your life for.

Fighter,

That's your name ([Justin Timberlake:] That's your name)



Trying to hide but it's obvious you're a survivor.

Believer,

Don't let the travel in the road -

That look in your eyes,

Puts fire in the heart of the cold (world).

Got a marathon to try again,

I'm not even tryin' to win.

I'm just glad I'm not alone.



First I need a, hero,

I got a, mirror,

Looking inside of my soul.

If I need a, hero,

I get my, mirror,

Gotta go on with the show.



I got my ear to the ground;

That's the sound of my train comin' 'round.

This is a chance for us to be heard loud.

It's you and me,

And it's our time now.

Don't let me down.



[Leona Lewis:]

Don't you let me down,

Promise you won't let me down.

Don't you let me down,

Promise you won't let me down.



You've been running so alone.

I see you (I see you).

You told me we could change the world.

And I believe it's true.



There's nothing now to hold us down.

I found,

My pains,

And the sound of your heart led the way.



I got my ear to the ground;

That's the sound of my train comin' 'round. (comin' round)

This is a chance for us to be heard loud.

It's you and me,

And it's our time now.

Don't let me down!



Don't you let me down, (Don't let me down)

Promise you won't let me down, ([Justin Timberlake:] Don't let me down now)

Don't let me down, ([Justin Timberlake:] Don't let me down now)

Promise you won't let me down, ([Justin Timberlake:] Don't let me down now)

Don't let me down,

Don't let me down now,

Don't let me down,

Don't let me down now

Archie Eguna haha nowadays is all about something like fifth harmony 😂

Insomniac Millennial

I really think now that she signed a deal with Sony, they should make a reedition of the previous albums or something. More people need to know about these songs.

Tori Kelly Fan

It's crazy how the radio will play Shape of You like five times a day, but will play one of Leona's songs maybe once every 4 months :'( she deserves more recognition!

Leanture

Its cuz shes blacklisted by simon and the illuminati cuz she wanted to leave them and she did and now shes been dropped from all promotions and connections! I know msot people think illuminati is made up and is crazy but do your own research and make up your mind! I use to be one of those people that always laughed at the illuminati believers but i came around thank god! Leonas way too talented and has an actual old school powerhosue diva voice and she doesnt sell sex and she wont sell sex so she got dropped!
