[Verse 1] Don't put your hands where my trust used to live Don't say you're sorry with nothing to give You wear your halo when somebody's watching Then turn out the lights and become something rotten I know that look I know that sound The little click when the lock comes down You call it love I call it control You keep taking pieces and swallowing whole [Pre-Chorus] Don't— Tell me I'm crazy Don't— Tell me I'm wrong I've been learning the difference Between being wanted And being owned [Chorus] Don't touch me Don't call me baby Don't tell me you love me When love shouldn't hurt this way Don't follow Don't come to save me I don't need saving I just need you to stay away Don't knock Don't beg Don't say you've changed Don't make another promise Just to break it again You want one last word? Okay— Don't. [Verse 2] You made me fluent in walking on glass Reading your face, trying not to react Learning which version of you walked through the doorway Wondering if tonight would become another bad day But something changed Inside my head Your voice doesn't sound like the truth anymore And all those threats That kept me scared Don't have the gravity they had before [Pre-Chorus] Don't— Rewrite the story Don't— Tell me I stayed Like fear was a choice Like silence meant yes Like somehow I'm yours to reclaim [Chorus] Don't touch me Don't call me baby Don't tell me you love me When love shouldn't hurt this way Don't follow Don't come to save me I don't need saving I just need you to stay away Don't knock Don't beg Don't say you've changed Don't make another promise Just to break it again You want one last word? Okay— Don't. [Bridge – whispered / distorted] Don't call at midnight Don't call from another number Don't send your friends Don't send your mother Don't leave flowers Don't leave notes Don't confuse obsession For refusing to let go (You said I'd come back...) No. (You said I'd miss you...) No. (You said nobody else would love me...) Funny. I'm finally learning How to love myself. [Breakdown] I changed the locks I changed my mind I left your little kingdom behind And every mile And every door Makes me wonder what I was afraid of you for [Final Chorus] Don't touch me Don't call me baby Don't tell me you love me I've heard enough anyway Don't follow Don't try to chase me You don't get to break me Then ask me why I walked away Don't knock Don't beg Don't scream my name Don't swear that tomorrow You'll suddenly change You want one last chance? One last word? One last piece of me? Don't. [Outro – whispered] Don't call. Don't follow. Don't wait outside. Don't say you love me. You had your chance. Now— don't.
