Don't
LiL Xtra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
October's coming again
Think I'll probably die this time around
Lost myself in the past
We knew that it wouldn't last
We're not so innocent this time around
Experiment
We forgot to live this life for the fear of it
I'm so bored
I hate this world
I don't believe a fucking thing that you just said
This can't be real
I cant explain the way this feels
Please just tell me this is in my head
Once again
My lungs are caving in
The first thing I remember is the last thing that you said
Don't say
Please don't say
Woke up in the gutter I've been worse
I'll pretend this doesn't hurt
If I can get out of this bed maybe I'll be okay
I'd get you out that grave with a trade if I could
You asked me to stay and I said that I would
Never got to see who you could be
Now that you're not there where you should be
And your mom stopped taking family pictures
Put down all the family pets
And I haven't seen your sister
I can't handle that one yet
5 years 2 months and six days
I know I said I would stay
I wish I'd said how much I loved you but now it's too late
This can't be real
I cant explain the way this feels
Please just tell me this is in my head
Once again
My lungs are caving in
The first thing I remember is the last thing that you said
Don't say
He's not gone he's not gone he's not gone he's not gone he's not gone he's not
Please Don't Say
Please stop talking

Please refrain from speaking further on this topic
Woke up in the gutter I've been worse
I have hit rock bottom, but have experienced worse
I'll pretend this doesn't hurt
I will try to suppress the pain and pretend that it doesn't affect me
If I can get out of this bed maybe I'll be okay
If I can motivate myself to get up and start my day, things may improve
I'd get you out that grave with a trade if I could
I would give anything to bring you back from the dead
You asked me to stay and I said that I would
You requested that I not leave, and I promised to stay
Never got to see who you could be
You were unable to reach your full potential
Now that you're not there where you should be
You are no longer with us, where you rightfully belong
And your mom stopped taking family pictures
Your mother has stopped documenting our family moments
Put down all the family pets
Our family has let go of all our beloved pets
And I haven't seen your sister
I haven't crossed paths with your sister since your departure
I can't handle that one yet
I am not emotionally prepared to face that situation yet
5 years 2 months and six days
It has been exactly 5 years, 2 months and 6 days since your passing
I know I said I would stay
I promised to remain steadfast and loyal
I wish I'd said how much I loved you but now it's too late
I regret not expressing my love to you when I had the chance
He's not gone he's not gone he's not gone he's not gone he's not gone he's not
I am trying to convince myself that you are not truly gone
Please Don't Say
I implore you not to speak further on this matter
Please stop talking
I am overwhelmed and need a break from conversation

Lil Xtra is so talented. One of the best song writers.
@Songjay
This song is so sad... whether he lost his lover, his friend, or his brother... you can hear the pain in his voice, especially when he started to say "He's not dead". That broke me.
