Lyrics
Don’t act like you don’t know ‘bout something you did
Addressing someone who is denying knowledge of their actions.
Tell me why’d you got to listen to your devil twin
Questioning the influence of a negative force or temptation.
You can do what you wanted, I can be what you need
Expressing flexibility in adapting to the other person's needs.
If I’m suckered into something, don’t be telling on me
Warning against betrayal if drawn into something undesirable.
I’ve got your letters and they took me apart
Referencing received letters causing emotional distress.
The only thing that keeps my mind out of the dark
Highlighting the impact of the letters on mental well-being.
You’re gonna lie over something, over the floor where I sleep
Accusing the person of lying and affecting the narrator's living space.
I don’t hear a word you’re saying ‘cause I’m ready to leave
Ignoring the person's words due to a readiness to end the relationship.
Vanity is your weakness
Pointing out vanity as a weakness in the person.
I don’t like how you make me feel
Expressing discomfort caused by the person's behavior.
(Can’t hide my fear)
Noting an inability to conceal fear.
Singing don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Emphasizing a strong refusal through repetition.
Touch me, oh no
Rejecting physical contact and setting boundaries.
I’m singing don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Reiterating the rejection and emphasizing the consequences.
You don’t get what you want
Asserting that the person won't achieve their desires.
Don’t touch me
Repeating the refusal to be touched.
You got your leather on, it’s killing my head
Commenting on the discomfort caused by the person's attire.
Everyone’s listening, but nothing’s said
Noting a lack of communication despite the attention.
You didn’t know what you wanted, it’s got nothing on me
Highlighting the person's confusion compared to the narrator.
I’m hiding from the silence that’s been hidden between
Seeking refuge from a hidden tension or conflict.
Your confidence is a toxin
Describing the person's confidence as harmful.
I can’t find my breath when you’re near
Expressing breathlessness and discomfort in the person's presence.
(Can’t hide my fear)
Acknowledging the inability to conceal fear.
Singing don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Reiterating the strong refusal to be touched.
Touch me, oh no
Maintaining the rejection of physical contact.
I’m singing don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Reiterating the consequences of not getting what the person wants.
You don’t get what you want
Emphasizing the continued refusal to be touched.
Don’t touch me
Final repetition of the refusal to be touched.
