DON.T
Maxine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to make it
But honestly i don't have the patience
To wait it out
I don't
No I don't

I keep avoiding situations
Cuz parties lead to drunk conversations
I shouldn't wanna call
But I call

You think i want you
But I don't
I don't I don't
That I still miss ya but I don't I don't I don't
I only called to let u know
You know u know
I used to love you now I don't

Complicating something that is not
Complicated
I thought you messed me up
I was wrong
Cuz we can keep on recreating
Everything it was
But it's fake and
I don't wanna keep in touch
Then I call...

You think i want you
But I don't
I don't I don't
That I still miss ya but I don't I don't I don't
I only called to let u know
You know u know
I used to love you now I don't

You say I need you
But ur wrong
So wrong so wrong
I'm so much Better
Now ur gone
Ur gone ur gone
I only called to let you know you know you know
I just to love u now I don't

Think you know better and I don't know what to do without you
That I was stupid enough to write all my songs about you
Know I know better than that
I used to love u
I'm so over that...

Think you know better and I don't know what to do without you
That I was stupid enough to write all my songs about you
Know I know better than that
I used to love u
I'm so over that...

You think i want you
But I don't
I don't I don't
That I still miss ya but I don't I don't I don't
I only called to let u know
You know u know
I used to love you now I don't

You say I need you
But ur wrong
So wrong so wrong
I'm so much better
Now ur gone
Ur gone ur gone




I only called to let you know you know you know
I just to love u now I don't

Overall Meaning

In the song "DON.T" by Maxine, the lyrics express a complex mix of emotions, ranging from impatience to regret. The singer is trying to move on from a past relationship, but finds it difficult to do so. The first two lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that they tried to stay in the relationship, but lack the patience and eventually decide to move on. The line "I keep avoiding situations" shows that the singer is actively avoiding any potential contact with their ex-partner, to prevent getting caught up in any drunk conversations or situations that may further complicate things.


The singer also expresses the idea that they still miss their ex-partner, despite trying to move on. This mixed feeling is expressed in lines like "You think I want you, but I don't", which convey the idea that the feelings are not very strong anymore, although the singer is not completely over the relationship yet. The chorus "I only called to let you know, I used to love you now I don't" highlights that the singer is actively trying to move on and show their ex-partner that they are done with the past.


The final verse of the song shows a sense of empowerment and growth, with the singer stating that they are better off without their ex-partner. They are able to reflect on their previous actions, like writing songs about their ex and realize they were misguided. In the end, the song serves as a reflection of the complex process of moving on from a past relationship.
