Lyrics for Don’t by Simu Liu:
20-somethings in a crowded room
Feels like everybody’s in on something –
Some big secret they’re not telling you
aboutLooking around
Everybody’s got it figured out.
Perfect strangers with their arms around somebody.
Shouting lyrics to a song that you don’t know.And I saw you there in the corner.
Your eyes fixed on the floorboards –
I came this close to walking over.
Damn, I wish I’d have told yaDon’t give up when you’re halfway down the road.
There’s so much inside you than you know.
When everything is telling you it’s over –
Baby, don’t.There will be times when it gets hard to stay
It’s easier to throw it all away,
just give me one more day
when you think of letting go
Baby, don’t.Conversation with the mirror now.
Making faces just to try them out cause
maybe one of them will feel like who you are.And it gets blurry under the city lights-
just one step in a million miles.I came this close to walking over
Damn I wish I would have told ya
Don’t give up when you’re halfway down the road.
There’s so much more inside you than you know
When everything is telling you it’s over –
Baby, don’t.There will be times when it gets hard to stay
It’s easier to throw it all away, just
give me one more day
when you think of letting goYou don’t have to be a soldier
If you look a little closer
there’s somebody; there’s somebody; there’s somebody rooting for yaSo don’t give up when you’re halfway down the road
There is so much more inside than you know.When everything is telling you it’s over,
Over,
Don’t.There will be times when it gets hard to stay
It’s easier to throw it all away
Just give me one more day
when you think of letting go,Baby don’t.
