Trousdale
Don’t Tell Me

[Verse 1]
I'm crawlin' up out of the black hole
I'm steppin' outside of your shadow
I'm learnin' to live with the unknown
I'm tryin' to outrun the echo of me and you

[Verse 2]
I'm scrappin' your songs from the playlist
I'm singin' the ones that you hated
You think that I'm yours for the takin'
No, but I'm takin' back all that I gave up for me and you

[Chorus]
Don't tell me you love me to keep me from leavin'
Stop callin' 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 leavin'

[Verse 3]
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'll miss me, but, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Don't tell me you love me to keep me from leavin' (Oh)
Stop callin' me "baby," I don't wanna hear it
You can lie to my face, you can swear to God you're gonna change (Oh, no)
But don't tell me you love me to keep me from leavin'
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm leavin'
Ooh, I'm leavin'

[Bridge]
You can lie to my face, you can swear to God you're gonna change (Oh, no)
But don't tell me you love me to keep me from leavin'

[Outro]
('Cause I'm leavin') 'Cause I'm leavin', 'cause I'm leavin'
'Cause I'm leavin', leavin' you
(Ooh) 'Cause I'm leavin', 'cause I'm leavin'
'Cause I'm leavin', I'm leavin' you
