Don't Go
PS I Love You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

don't go. don't go. the night when you said don't go i almost didn't go
don't leave. don't leave. if you leave without me your heart will never be free

sleeping in the van with a knife in my hand, this is the worst week of my life
in one day i lost all i ever loved, this is the worst week of my life

don't go. don't go. the night when you said don't go i almost didn't go
i can't. i can't believe. i just can't believe that they took you right from the street

sleeping in the van with a knife in my hand, this is the worst week of my life
in one day i lost all i ever loved, this is the worst week of my life





it's a year later and everything's changed. a year later and is it all the same
you say i'm free but i'm not free, i'm free but i'm not free

When he says, “cause the thing is, I just can’t say goodbye yet...” I literally sob ❤️ What an honest sentiment about someone you lose. Sigh. Such a good movie.

Paula Azevedo

I cried so much.

I don’t know why this film received such terrible reviews, for me it was the best chick flick/romcom I have ever seen and normally I’m not a fan of chick flicks (I even hate the phrase chick flicks) but this one was brilliant and funny.

Paula Azevedo

People hate to think and talk about death . That's why. It scares them. Love the movie though.

Totally agree with you. And for my money it contains Gerard Butler's best performance. He is absolutely marvelous in the deleted scenes too.

Dave Brown
