I Don't Wanna Go
The Moments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For making up excuses
And all too many times
Wondering what the use is now
Nothing like it used to be
When you and me
Were all I ever dreamed of
Just the way you planned them
And looking back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
And before I start to lie
I want you to know
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
Did we turn away
Just when we saw it coming
And could we have been saved
Or would we still
Be running scared
The space became so wide
That no matter how I tried
There was just no place to hide
Ohh Baby
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
Repeat 2x
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I Just
(But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me)
I Just
(I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before)
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like
Just like before
The Moments' "I Don't Wanna Go" is a song about a troubled romantic relationship that has fallen apart, leaving the singer with nothing but regret and uncertainty about what could have been done differently. The opening lines of the first verse express the singer's tendency to make excuses instead of acknowledging the situation's reality. He wonders what the point of anything is and reflects on how far away he and his partner have become from their dreams. In the chorus, the singer admits that he does not want to leave, but he feels he has no other option. He wishes he still loved his partner the way he once did. The second verse poses a rhetorical question about whether the relationship could have been saved if they'd acted differently, followed by an acknowledgement that there is no escaping the gulf between them. The song repeats the chorus and ends with a final plea to the partner to understand that the singer still has feelings for them, but the relationship cannot continue.

Lately I been Known
I have been recognized recently
For making up excuses
For coming up with reasons not to do things
And all too many times
And this has happened more times than I can count
Wondering what the use is now
Asking myself what the point is now
Nothing like it used to be
Things are completely different from how they used to be
When you and me
When we were together
Were all I ever dreamed of
Being with you was my ultimate dream
Dreams just don't come true
Unfortunately, dreams do not always come true
Just the way you planned them
The way you envisioned them
And looking back in time
Reflecting on the past
I still don't understand just how
I still do not comprehend exactly how
The feeling comes and goes
The emotions are unpredictable
And before I start to lie
Before I start to deceive
I want you to know
I need you to know
Did we turn away
Did we ignore/avoid what was happening between us
Just when we saw it coming
At the exact moment when we realized what was happening
And could we have been saved
And was there anything that could have prevented this situation?
Or would we still
Or would we still
Be running scared
Remain scared and uncertain
The space became so wide
The distance between us grew so much
That no matter how I tried
Despite all my efforts
There was just no place to hide
I could not escape the reality of the situation
I Don't wanna go
I do not want to leave
But I can't stay here no more
But I cannot continue in the current situation any longer
Cause it just ain't like before
Because things are different from how they used to be
I don't want you to love me
I do not want you to continue loving me
And ohh how I wish I
And how I wish that I
Loved you like I did
Still had the same feelings for you as before
Honey you know I did
I hope you know that I truly did love you
But it just ain't like
But things are not the same as
Just like before
They used to be
