Don't
Logan Murrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's been a long time since we talked
Don't ask me if I was asleep
And if there's anything I need at all
It ain't fair to you or fair to me for you to call
Whenever you're feeling lonely
That one with deep green eyes that can't say no
Whenever those faded memories
Tell you to run back after me
Whatever you do
Whatever you do
Don't
Don't say what if I just showed up
Boy I'm not strong enough to turn you down
Don't make a promise you can't keep
You swear you won't hurt me this time around
We both should know better by now
Whenever you're feeling lonely
And you just need someone to hold
That one with deep green eyes that can't say no
Whenever those faded memories
Tell you to run back after me
Whatever you do
Whatever you do
Don't think I'll never move on
Cuz I will
If you could ever stay gone
Whenever you're feeling lonely
And you just need someone to hold
That one with deep green she won't say yes anymore
Whenever those faded memories
Tell you to run back after me
Whatever you do
Whatever you do
Don't
The lyrics to Logan Murrell's song "Don't" depict a situation where the singer is being urged not to give in to their former partner's attempts to reconnect. The song highlights the complexities of a past relationship that still lingers in the minds of both individuals. The singer is frustrated by their ex's sporadic presence in their life, appearing when they are feeling lonely or vulnerable, and posing questions and making promises that lead to uncertainty.
The first verse conveys the singer's frustration with their ex reaching out to them after a long time of not talking. They express their discontent with being asked if they were asleep and if they need anything, as it isn't fair for the ex to suddenly appear and expect things to go back to the way they were. The chorus emphasizes the ex's desire for companionship and comfort, represented by the individual with deep green eyes who can't say no. The singer pleads with their ex not to give in to the temptation of going back to the past, even when faded memories try to lure them back.
The second verse reveals the ex's attempt to convince the singer to give them a chance by showing up unexpectedly, but the singer admits their own vulnerability and lack of strength to resist the ex's advances. They warn their ex not to make empty promises that they can't keep, especially given the past where both parties have been hurt before. The chorus reiterates the plea to resist the pull of nostalgia and the temptation to fall back into old patterns.
The bridge of the song adds a sense of determination and growth on the part of the singer. They state that they will eventually move on, no matter what, showing that they are ready to let go of the past and find happiness without their ex. The final chorus ends with the singer's plea not to give in to the urge to chase after them, as they recognize that it will only lead to repeating the same painful cycle.
Overall, "Don't" is a song about empowerment, boundary-setting, and the struggle to find closure in a past relationship. It explores the push and pull of emotions and the battle between heart and mind when faced with the temptation to rekindle a connection that should be left behind.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't tell me I just crossed your mind
Stop pretending that you still think about me
And it's been a long time since we talked
We haven't had a conversation in ages
Don't ask me if I was asleep
Don't inquire about my state of rest
And if there's anything I need at all
Don't offer assistance or support
It ain't fair to you or fair to me for you to call
It wouldn't be fair to either of us if you reach out
Whenever you're feeling lonely
Whenever you experience loneliness
And you just need someone to hold
When you desire physical comfort
That one with deep green eyes that can't say no
The person with captivating green eyes who can't resist
Whenever those faded memories
Whenever those distant recollections
Tell you to run back after me
Urge you to return to me
Whatever you do
No matter what action you take
Don't
Don't do it
Don't say what if I just showed up
Don't speculate about the possibility of me appearing
Boy I'm not strong enough to turn you down
I lack the strength to reject you, boy
Don't make a promise you can't keep
Don't make false commitments
You swear you won't hurt me this time around
You claim you won't cause me pain this time
We both should know better by now
Both of us should have learned from our experiences
Don't think I'll never move on
Don't assume I'll never progress
Cuz I will
Because I definitely will
If you could ever stay gone
If you could manage to stay away
