Don’t - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Wrote you all these pages, threw them out

And I'll pick up the phone just to put it back down

Don't think I can hear how you're better now

I can feel the silence getting loud

How long are these thoughts about you gonna run around?

How I wish we'd found some common ground

Now I'm putting on a show

While you're left at home

It's not personal

Don't wanna cry, so I'll make a joke

You're stuck in the goddamn back of my throat

Maybe it's brighter, maybe I'm cold

There's all of these things I should say, but I don't

Did it get you heavy? Did you shake?

When you hear about mе, tell me, does it makе you flinch?

Does it kill you too, the wondering? (Wondering, wondering)

Or were you dancing on your own

Or taking someone home?

Better I don't know

Don't wanna cry, so I'll make a joke

You're stuck in the goddamn back of my throat

Maybe it's brighter, maybe I'm cold

There's all of these things I should say, but I don't

Can't speak your name, I'm scared that I'll choke

Block out the nights in the back of your Ford

Baby, it's cruel spitting out hope

There's all of these things I should say, but I don't

[Oh-oh?], so I just don't

I-I, I-I, I-I, I-I don't

Don't wanna cry, so I'll make a joke

You're stuck in the goddamn back of my throat

Maybe it's brighter, maybe I'm cold

There's all of these things I should say, but I don't

Can't speak your name, I'm scared that I'll choke

Block out the nights in the back of your Ford

Baby, it's cruel spitting out hope

There's all of these things I should say, but I don't

[Oh-oh?], so I just don't
