Don't Look At Me Lyrics

I still watch you
It's not the right thing to do
And I,
I can't have you again

We were running from the light
We knew who we had left behind
You thrill me,
You thrill me

You say
No sleeping in this house
No screaming in my eyes
No screaming when you shout

You said
No sleeping in this house
No leaving from this house

You were trying to hold me down
Still you don't know you were not there

And you told me
that she would never know
And you told me
that she would never know

I hated watching you grow old
I hated watching you grow old
I'm now sitting there in the room where they left you to grow

And I,
I can't have you again
And I still watch you,
It's not the right thing to do

You say
No sleeping in this house
No screaming in my eyes
No screaming when you shout

You said
No sleeping in this house
No leaving from this house

You were trying to hold me down
Still you don't know you were not there

I'm still sitting there in the place where they left you to grow
You thrilled me
You thrilled me
I'm still sitting there in the room where they left you to grow
And we were in the new low
We were in the new low

I'm still sitting there in the place where they left you to grow
You thrill me
You thrill me

And I still watch you
And I still watch you
I still want you

I still watch you
It's not the right thing to do
And I,
I can't have you again

We were running from the light
We knew who we had left behind
You thrill me,
You thrill me

You say
No sleeping in this house
No screaming in my eyes
No screaming when you shout

You said
No sleeping in this house
No leaving from this house

You were trying to hold me down
Still you don't know you were not there

And you told me
that she would never know
And you told me
that she would never know

I hated watching you grow old
I hated watching you grow old
I'm now sitting there in the room where they left you to grow

And I,
I can't have you again
And I still watch you,
It's not the right thing to do

You say
No sleeping in this house
No screaming in my eyes
No screaming when you shout

You said
No sleeping in this house
No leaving from this house

You were trying to hold me down
Still you don't know you were not there

I'm still sitting there in the place where they left you to grow
You thrilled me
You thrilled me
I'm still sitting there in the room where they left you to grow
And we were in the new low
We were in the new low

I'm still sitting there in the place where they left you to grow
You thrill me
You thrill me

And I still watch you
And I still watch you
I still want you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

SongMeanings uploaded the wrong lyric (lyric from "Don't Move") Here is the right "Don't look at me" lyric.

I still watch you It's not the right thing to do And I, I can't have you again

We were running from the light We knew who we had left behind You thrill me, You thrill me

You say No sleeping in this house No screaming in my eyes No screaming when you shout

You said No sleeping in this house No leaving from this house

You were trying to hold me down Still you don't know you were not there

And you told me that she would never know And you told me that she would never know

I hated watching you grow old I hated watching you grow old I'm now sitting there in the room where they left you to grow

And I, I can't have you again And I still watch you, It's not the right thing to do

You say No sleeping in this house No screaming in my eyes No screaming when you shout

You said No sleeping in this house No leaving from this house

You were trying to hold me down Still you don't know you were not there

I'm still sitting there in the place where they left you to grow You thrilled me You thrilled me I'm still sitting there in the room where they left you to grow And we were in the new low We were in the new low

I'm still sitting there in the place where they left you to grow You thrill me You thrill me

And I still watch you And I still watch you I still want you
