"Don't Tell Me" lyrics

"Don't Tell Me"

I'm crawling up out of a black hole
I'm stepping outside of your shadow
I'm learning to live with the unknown
I'm tryna outrun the echo of me and you

I'm scrapping your songs from the playlist
I'm singing the ones that you hated
You think that I'm yours for the taking
Oh, but I'm taking back all that I gave up for me and you

Don't tell me you love me to keep me from leaving
Stop calling me me baby, I don't wanna hear it
You can lie to my face
You can swear to god you're gonna change
But don't tell me you love me to keep me from leaving

You can cling to your side of the story
Go on and on about how well you know me
You can say I gave up on you way too quickly
You can even say that you miss me
But, oh

Don't tell me you love me to keep me from leaving
Stop calling me me baby, I don't wanna hear it
You can lie to my face
You can swear to god you're gonna change
But don't tell me you love me to keep me from leaving

'Cause I'm leaving
Ooh, leaving

You can lie to my face
You can swear to god you're gonna change
But don't tell me you love me to keep me from leaving
'Cause I'm leaving

'Cause I'm leaving, 'cause I'm leaving
'Cause I'm leaving, leaving you
'Cause I'm leaving, 'cause I'm leaving
'Cause I'm leaving
I'm leaving you
