Don't Kiss Me

lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

I saw the way you looked at me

Like I was still your favorite dream

But dreams don’t bleed, and hearts don’t mend

When love is just pretend

You whispered sweet promises in the dark

You lit a fire, then left your mark

Now every word you ever said feels cold

Your lies have gotten so damn old

Chorus

Don’t kiss me when your lips have lied to me

Don’t touch me like you still believe

I’m not the fool I used to be

So don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me

When your lips have lied to me

No no no

Don't kiss me

Verse 2

You wore your guilt like your Sunday best

Pressed and clean, but you failed the test

Truth can’t hide behind cheap perfume

It stays and lingers in the room

I gave you grace, I gave you time

You gave me lies dressed as rhyme

Baby, I won’t dance to your deceit

I can stand on my own two feet

Chorus

Don’t kiss me when your lips have lied to me

Don’t touch me like you still believe

I’m not the fool I used to be

So don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me

When your lips have lied to me

No no no

Don't kiss me

Bridge

I’d rather walk alone than sleep beside

A love that’s built on alibis

You had your chance, you made your choice

Now it's time I raised my voice

Final Chorus

Chorus

Don’t kiss me when your lips have lied to me

Don’t touch me like you still believe

I’m not the fool I used to be

So don’t kiss me—don’t kiss me

When your lips have lied to me

No no no

Don't kiss me

Outro

Don’t kiss me

When your lips have lied to me
