I Won't

Colbie Caillat · 1x01 - Pilot [2010]

I won't do what you told me

I won't do what you said, no

I'm not gonna stop feeling

I'm not gonna forget it

I don't want to start over

I don't want to pretend that

You are not my lover

That you're only my friend

Cuz when you took my heart

You took it all

When you gave it back

It fell apart

And so...

I won't do what you told me

I won't do what you said, no

I'm not gonna stop feeling

I'm not gonna forget it

I don't want to start over

I don't want to pretend that

You are not my lover

That you're only my friend

I Won't

Well maybe you're not right for me

Maybe this is hard to see

I get lost in you're beauty

Then I just start questioning

Cuz when you took my heart

You took it all

When you gave it back

It fell apart

So...

I won't do what you told me

I won't do what you said, no

I'm not gonna stop feeling

I'm not gonna forget it

I don't want to start over

I don't want to pretend that

You are not my lover

That you're only my friend

I Won't

You say it's easier to burn than to build

You say it's easier to hurt than to heal

I say you lose when you give up what you love

I lived my life without you long enough

So...

I won't do what you told me

I won't do what you said, no

I'm not gonna stop feeling

I'm not gonna forget it

I don't want to start over

I don't want to pretend that

You are not my lover

That you're only my friend

I Won't

(I Won't)

I won't do what you told me

(I Won't, I Won't)

I won't do what you said

I won't do what you told me

I won't do what you said

No, I won't
