Don't You
Marike Jager feat. Ron Sexsmith Marike Jager & Ron Sexsmith Lyrics

You don’t wanna hear it though
You have no interest in listening to what I have to say

It’s coming in the spirit of love
I am expressing these words with genuine affection and care

You don’t wanna hear it now
At this moment, you are unwilling to receive this message

It’s just like you to be that way
Your behavior is predictable and consistent

It’s just like you to say 'You’ve heard enough'
You typically claim to have already been informed adequately

Your heart just won’t go near it now
Your emotions are resistant to engaging with this subject at present

Whoa…
A moment of exclamation or realization

While you’re not listening
In the midst of your inattention

You’re missing out on something real
You are depriving yourself of an authentic experience

But if that’s how you feel
If that's truly your sentiment

Don’t say I never told you so
Do not claim that I did not warn you

The days are getting colder you know
You should be aware that the situation is deteriorating

You don’t wanna hear it now
At this moment, you are still unwilling to listen

Say you’ve got a wounded heart
Admit that you are emotionally hurt

Not dealing is the easy part so you don’t
Avoiding confrontation with your emotions is simpler, so you choose not to address them

You don’t wanna listen now
Right now, you refuse to lend an ear

Music is an olive branch
Music serves as a peace offering

It’s a message in a bottle yeah, but you won’t
Although it holds a meaningful message, you reject it

You won’t know what you’re missing out on
You remain unaware of the valuable experiences you are passing up

While you’re pretending
While you continue to feign ignorance or denial

The ending’s breaking your own heart
You are causing your own heartache through your actions

But that’s how you are
This is simply a reflection of your true nature

Don’t wanna be a thorn in your side
I do not wish to be an annoyance or burden to you

Don’t say I never warned you I tried
Do not claim that I did not alert you to this situation, as I indeed made an effort

You don’t wanna hear it now
Once again, you currently have no desire to listen

Whoa…
Another moment of exclamation or realization

While you’re not listening
While you remain unresponsive

You’re missing out on something real
You continue to deprive yourself of a genuine experience

But if that’s how you feel
If that's truly your sentiment

You don’t wanna hear it though
Once more, you have no interest in listening

It’s coming in the spirit of love
These words are conveyed with affection and compassion

You don’t wanna hear it now
Currently, you are unwilling to receive this message

It’s coming in the spirit of love
I am expressing these words with genuine affection and care

You don’t wanna hear it now
At this moment, you are unwilling to receive this message
