Don’t Wanna Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just wake up, I shouted
There's some blood, around the -
Clean it up, it's okay
Go get help, it's okay
I'm too young and now it's
It's gone numb around me
Ambulance in driveway
Speeding up the highway

[Pre-Chorus]
Suits were made for men, not boys
And this faith that we fake is a choice

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
If it means goodbye
And I don't wanna see
I don't wanna be there
If it's the last time


[Verse 2]
Hold my brother's hand
And I'm his mother standing

In a sudden panic
Like a drugless addict
It's too late, the moment
When it runs you over
No one's safe, I need her
No one say it's over
[Pre-Chorus]
Suits were made for men, not boys
So leave me alone

And this faith that we fake is a choice
So take me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna go
And I don't wanna go
If it means goodbye
And I don't wanna go
I don't wanna see her
If it's the last time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
