I Don't Wanna Go
Samantha Sang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Lately, I've been known
For making up excuses and all too many times
Wonderin' what the use is now
When nothing's like it used to be
When you and me were all I ever dreamed of

But dreams just don't come true
Just the way we planned them
And lookin' back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
So before I start to lie, I want you to know

That I don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't wanna go
But it's just not like before
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't want you to love me
And oh, how I wish I loved you like I did
You know I did

Did we turn away when we saw it coming?
And could we have been saved
Or would we just keep running scared?
The space became so wide
That no matter how we tried
There was just no place to hide in

I don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't wanna go
But it's just not like before
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't want you to love me
And oh, how I wish I loved you like I did
You know I did

And now, we don't live the untruth
So before I start to lie i want you to know
Oh, baby

I don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't wanna go
But it's just not like before
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't want you to love me
And oh, how I wish I loved you like I did
Mmm, you know I did

I don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't wanna go
But it's just not like before
(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more




(You don't wanna stay, baby)
I don't wanna go
