Lyrics

Don't come running to me
Stop right there!
Don't call out my name, Cause
I don't care
Did you think that I would change my mind?

Don't you call my phone
Not day or night
Don't be hangin' 'round
Till morning light
Did you think I'd let you waste my time?

However long it's been isn't long enough
Forever and a day isn't log enough

Don't start gossiping
Don't spread the news
Don't start your lying and
Don't tell the truth
Did you think I wouldn't hear what you said?

Don't you talk about me
Don't ask around
Don't you dare distrub
This peace I've found
Won't you try to shut your mouth, instead?

However long it's been isn't long enough
Forever and a day isn't log enough

And don't you try to guilt me into
Giving you another chance
You've had your last chance

However long it's been isn't long enough
Forever and a day isn't log enough
It's not long enough

OOO a nice catchy strum for a nice bit of post relationship angst! This is a real good one! I like it like this but i think its a keeper for an album

that is some stellar rhythm guitar playing. and there are few things as sweet as the bitterness of a kiss off song.

Another great song. The bridge had me thinking, so you saying there's still a chance. My favorite line is "Don't start your lying and Don't tell the truth", so much going on there and hits right to the bone. Also liked the line "Don't be hanging 'round Till morning light"

I love some percussive acoustic guitar. Always sounds cool, and that's a catchy riff. I like when your voice gets ever so slightly raspy. I think you should sing this until your voice is almost blown, and then record. Would be awesome.

Cool percussive strum! I like the directness in the lyrics - and how you synthesized the song meaning and title line in the chorus down to those 2 lines - a very creative way to say It's over, I'm done with you, leave me alone. Great details in the verses and a nice contrast with the chorus. It is also cool the repetitive "don'ts" - very effective. Excellent acoustic one take also.
