There was a time long ago
But it seemed like yesterday
When all I wanted was you
And now you make a segway
As you turn your face away
And I know your words aren’t true
And I don’t want your lies
And I don’t think that I’m
Gonna let you inside
And you can take off your disguise
Because I can see the truth that’s hidden
Behind your eyes
And all those words that you don’t say
Just mean less and less each day
You can’t make me shed a tear
I think about tomorrow
Another day of sorrow
But I don’t think that I’ll be here
Facing the Truth of a Broken Relationship
Blink-182’s “Don’t” explores the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has lost its honesty and trust. The lyrics describe the pain of realizing that someone once cherished is now hiding behind lies and emotional distance. The narrator recognizes insincerity in their partner’s words and actions, choosing self-protection over vulnerability. The repeated references to unspoken words and the gradual numbing of emotion highlight the process of letting go and finding strength in self-respect. Ultimately, the song touches on the inevitability of moving forward, even if tomorrow brings more sorrow.
