Lyrics
Don’t
(T. Murphy / Pam Reswick)

Don’t touch me with your hands
Don’t make me need a man
No warm and tender smiles
That make me ache inside

Don’t stand so close to me
That I feel your body heat
Don’t stare so constantly
Like you’re undressing me

You think you’re going to steal my heart
Well you’re wrong
Before you even try to start I’ll be gone
You think you’re gonna make me love you
Well you won’t
So if that’s what you’re gonna do
Just don’t

Don’t whisper in my ear
Cause I don’t want to hear
Don’t call me on the phone
Cause I’d rather be alone
Don’t tear down my walls
Don’t they just might fall
Please don’t make me feel
Something so painfully real


You think you’re gonna change my mind
With some fairytale
Well better men then you have tried
And failed
You swear my dreams will all come true
But I know they won’t
So if that’s what you’re gonna do
Just don’t

Don’t waste your time
Don’t waste it on me

Description
Short Song Description:
Rejecting love
Long Song Description:
Simply a song about not wanting to put yourself in a vulnerable position with someone. Saying the words "don't" yet secretly longing to invite intimacy into your life. i.e. No means yes :)
Story Behind the Song:
Pam and I wrote this with very little conscious effort. It all just kind of poured out painlessly and emotionally. It's a very relatable experience to be afraid of love and being hurt so it wasn't hard to capture that in a gut wrenching, soul song. I real
