Don't
LiL Xtra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I felt so cold in the end
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
Experience
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

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.
