Don't Lyrics

You look at me like you always do
You don’t have a clue
You smile at me
You hug me
But you don’t know I want you
You play with me
You flirt with me
You tell me all your secrets
I’m always the one you run to
But to you I’m just your friend

Don’t say I love you
Don’t say you need me
Don’t say I trust you
My heart can't take it
Don’t say you want me
Don’t say you miss me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t say you love me

No, no, no, no

I tried my best to rid these thoughts
Of you and I
It’s so hard
When you come to me
I fall back on my knees
I’ve learned to hate love
You kissed me on the cheek
You said you’ll never make it without me
It’s getting harder everyday
Please don’t say to me

Don’t say I love you
Don’t say you need me
Don’t say I trust you
My heart can’t take it
Don’t say you want me
Don’t say you miss me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t say you love me


Don’t say you love me
Don’t say you love me
Don’t say you love me
Don’t say you love me
My heart can’t take it
I love you so much
But you don’t see me
I hate love

Don’t say I love you
Don’t say you need me
Don’t say I trust you
Unless you mean it
Don’t say you want me
Don’t say you need me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t

Don’t say I love you
Don’t say you need me
Don’t say I trust you
My heart can’t take it
Don’t say you want me
Don’t say you miss me
Don’t hurt me
Don’t say you love me

I loved this song from the first time I saw it, especially the lines: "I love you so much But you don’t see me I hate love."

I could go blah blah blah "I identify with this..." and then say why, but I guess the meaning is pretty simple, but it's brilliant.

I LOVE this song. Kelly has such emotion in her voice, you can like, feel the pain. I can't wait for a studio version of it.

this song is so beautiful...

do you think that its about a breakup or a love that never was?

Cover art for Don't lyrics by Kelly Clarkson

I thought of this as a song to someone she wants to be with, but can't because he only sees her as a friend. And he doesn't understand that's how she feels about him so he says things that people say to their friends (in this case maybe really close friends?) like "oh, I love you" "I'm glad you're my friend" all those kinds of things, and they hurt her because she wants them to be true, but knows they aren't.

at the start of the song she says hopefully this will be on the new album. did she mean the breakaway album and it never made it onto it, becuase didn't she say that on the 1st album tour?

She meant Breakaway, I think...

and it's a song about a love that will never be, she's in love with a friend, but he doesn't see this, he just carries on as normal, oblivious to her feelings about him.

This song,..well..I think that the lyrics are simple. You know, when yopu have this friend, you like him A LOT, and he too, coz you are his friend, you share things with him, he loves you..adores you..everything..but not in the way that he should, he just likes you..as a friend..

This song is sad and you can hear the pain in her voice. I felt like this with my friend, I liked him more but then I told him and we got together and then we broke up and I still like him and it blaahh.. this song is really good.
