Don't You Lyrics

I could tear your walls down as I chip at who you are now
Don't you
You ever let me know how
You never let me know
And I could break your heart down as I tell you that you've burned out
Don't you
You want to let it go, yeah
You want to let it go, yeah
Oh, don't you
Oh, don't you
Oh, don't you

Oh, I might scream and shout now as I feel you pressing down on
Don't you
You walk upon my heals now
You walk upon my heals
And I should call your soul out but I feel I've gained control now
Don't you,
You tell me what to do, yeah
You tell me what to do, yeah
You twist and turn
Turn your thoughts around
This road it's getting long
Stones, don't you
They're getting harder and you're
You're slipping slowly further
You're slipping slowly further
You're slipping slowly further than you've been before

Oh, I don't need to know how, yes
And I don't need to blow out your candle
It's only burning at both ends
But your moods they wash away
No need to close your eyes today
You just take your
Your deeper breath you're going
Your deeper breath you're going
Under this time
It's under this time
You, you've got to go now
Won't you, you've got to go now
And don't you,
Don't you, you know it
Don't you, you know it
You've got to go now
Don't you, you've got to go now

Definitely exactly how I feel now. This song is about being in a relationship and playing the nice guy role with a girl who had many problems before you that you fixed and brought back up on a straight road. However, after doing SO MUCH to help this girl, she turns around and treats him like shit. It's gotten to the point where he's ready for it to be done, and they both know that she's got to go. She went too far this time, acting like she didn't care, but he knows that he could fuck her world up, yet the KNOWING, FEELING that he's in control is enough, and he's numb to her slipping away.
