Don't
Logan Murrell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell me I just crossed your mind
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
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

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 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 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.

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
