Don't Ask Me
Love And A .45 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In time I've been doing fine when I'm on the radio
I thought a lot today
I turn it down and it's in my way
And it's fine to realize that you're mine when it's everything I know
Something's got to give
You find a life maybe you don't wanna live
And I'm telling you over and over
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
What I need now
Is a day

I do it all to get you off
Still you tell me I don't know
This love is not the same
You turn away when you're calling out my name
And you're trying to prove you're right
So I just don't come home
Something here is wrong
Why the hell have I been holding on this long

Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything

What's that you said
Where have you been
Why don't you just leave me alone

If you can't take what I can give
Why don't you just leave me alone

Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything

What's that you said
Where have you been
Why don't you just leave me alone

If you can't take what I can give
Why don't you just leave me alone

Don't ask me to slow down now




Don't ask me to try
So just leave me alone

Line by Line Meaning

In time I've been doing fine when I'm on the radio
I've been good lately when I'm playing music publicly


I thought a lot today
I spent a lot of time reflecting on things


I turn it down and it's in my way
When I turn off the radio, my thoughts interrupt me


And it's fine to realize that you're mine when it's everything I know
It's good to know that you're mine when that's all I'm familiar with


Something's got to give
There has to be a change or resolution to our problems


You find a life maybe you don't wanna live
You discover a lifestyle that you don't actually want


And I'm telling you over and over
I'm repeatedly trying to communicate this to you


Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't tell me to stop or take it easy


Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
Don't expect me to explain every detail


What I need now
What I require at the moment


Is a day
Is some time to myself


I do it all to get you off
I do everything to please you


Still you tell me I don't know
But you criticize me anyway


This love is not the same
Our love has changed


You turn away when you're calling out my name
You ignore me when you call my name


And you're trying to prove you're right
You're attempting to show that you're correct


So I just don't come home
So I avoid coming home


Something here is wrong
Something in our relationship is amiss


Why the hell have I been holding on this long
Why have I been staying in this unhealthy relationship for so long?


What's that you said
What did you just say


Where have you been
Where have you been lately


Why don't you just leave me alone
Why don't you give me some space


If you can't take what I can give
If you can't handle what I'm able to offer


So just leave me alone
Then just leave me be
