Dan + Shay - How Not To Lyrics






I can honestly understand why it's over
I can go through the motions of walking away
I can give you the key and take my things back
I can find plenty things to fill my days

But I don't know how not to think about you
When it's late at night and quiet
And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
But I probably turn down your road, knock knock on your door
Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you

I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to [x2]

You're like second nature baby, you're just like breathin'
A melody that you hear and you can't forget
The time goes by and I still need you
Yeah, you were at the heartbreak of no regret

But I don't know how not to think about you
When it's late at night and quiet
And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
But I probably turn down your road, knock knock on your door
Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you

I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to [x2]

I don't know how not to think about you
When it's late at night and quiet
But I know that I ought to be the one who's strong and just moves on
But I probably turn down your road, knock knock on your door
Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you

I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to [x2]

    Country music is like early 2000's punk rock, nothing but whiny bitch music, no self respecting straight man can listen to dudes drone on how the simp for girls. Especially when female country is all about hating men.

  28. T.... D....

    My playlist tells my story that's the way I learned how to communicate with my family since nobody wanted to listen.

  45. E.... T....

    Dan and Shay: How not to
    Me: How not to what

  46. A.... ....

    I really like this song, and I admire the video for where it goes. I struggle a little with the time jumps, trying to figure out which timeline is present, past, possible future/revised future. There's a lot happening very quickly and many of the visual cues are very similar to one another. Still, heartfelt and honest.

  47. J.... M....

    lol way to go joe you got a promotion

  48. V.... T....

    hay quá hihi

  49. D.... G....

    I love this music video. Someone special in my life has just had his third year sober!

  50. N.... P....

    Awesome video ,Beautiful music direction .. Depicting Love complications in so many different forms of scenarios, Resulting addiction tsk Good one 😉👍 Loving Shay & Dan's music btw !

  51. S.... D....

    What?!?! No new sexual relationships for 2 years. That's how that AA thing works. Noah, Sophie...read the Big Blue Book. 😁 💙

  52. T.... Y....

    I can understand little why people gets alcoholics.

  53. S.... ....

    She is laughing now. Wait till the withdrawal symptoms kick in. One of the worst things you’ll ever experience. I actually had to go to a detox because I was sweating and shaking so bad. Thought I was legit going to die.

  54. S.... K....

    I have loved this song, I have never seen this video.. WOW!

  55. K.... C....

    This legit sounds like rascal flatts.

  56. l.... C....

    Im still...... here Amber. Wingin this life without u. I need u. I want u. I dont know how not to

  57. l.... C....

    Amber ...

  58. L.... W....

    Goodbye

  59. W.... J....

    My mom barely let's me eat candy's in the morning and this lady is drinks alcohol as her daily coffe

  60. G.... D....

    I like how in their videos there is always a story to tell unlike most artists videos

  61. T.... S....

    This song hits me on another level. How do I not think about you? It's been the only thing there for me when I'm in need. The only thing that dulls the pain. I'm sure everyone goes through hard times. Will power test us all. How strong are you? How beat down are you? How weak are you? Who's there for you? No matter what you control the out come. Just remember someone loves you matter what. Strive to be the person you want to be. Love yourself. Always remember the choices is yours. Love is a powerful tool.

  62. N.... ....

    My favorite song of theirs. ❤️

  63. M.... B....

    This song HIT me

  64. J.... Y....

    Man this is my first time seeing the mv of this song like I have listened to this song for a while before actually seeing its mv which was like 5 min ago but lol I would never thought that it’s a song about alcoholics and other types of addictions and things like that I honestly just thought it’s a song about two ppl who can’t get over each other

  65. s.... w....

    I played this song when I was on my way to my first AA meeting. Alcoholism is my biggest enemy and hope to come out sober.

    s.... w....

    sage wimsett I’m working on it as well. Drinking is a bitch.

  66. O.... M....

    There's always a great story to their songs and I always replay to get the story right xx

  67. A.... R....

    The scream the girl does is so sastifying

  68. M.... o....

    LOL! love it!

  69. M.... o....

    Love this song! understand and thanks!!

  70. B.... ....

    i love how the story ends ❤️

  71. A.... W....

    As an alcoholic and drug addict in AA, I find this video and song insulting as a representation of alcoholism or AA. Forget about working hard or every day being a struggle - just go to meetings to make serious eye contact, flirt, and fall in love! Love is the key to recovery! No. Relationships are not even supposed to happen in the first year of recovery. I wanted to like this, I really did, and the song sure is catchy ... but it's just awful. If the song itself and not just the video is specifically about alcoholism or addiction, some of the lyrics are pretty insulting. "I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on."

  72. R.... J....

    My sisters marriage ended because of her husbands addiction to alcohol. They’ve been together since I was in 4th grade and I’ve always known him to be a drunk. But as of 3 months ago he quit drinking. It’s sad that it cost him his family but at least he’s doing better.

  73. K.... G....

    I honestly thought they were The Rascal.Flatts too! Great Song❤️along with manyyy more...Who's here with me June 5 2019?

    P.... T....

    Thanks!

    I can honestly understand why it's over
    I can go through the motions of walking away
    I can give you the key and take my things back
    I can find plenty things to fill my days
    But I don't know how not to think about you
    When it's late at night and crying
    And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
    But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door
    Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
    Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you
    I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to
    I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to
    You're like second nature, baby, you're just like breathin'
    A melody that you hear and you can't forget
    The time goes by and I still need you
    Yeah, you were at the heartbreak of no regret
    But I don't know how not to think about you

    And I know that I ought to be the one who is strong and just moves on
    But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door
    Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
    Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you
    I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to
    I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to
    I don't know how not to think about you
    When it's late at night and crying
    But I know that I ought to be the one who's strong and just moves on
    But I probably turn down your road, knock-knock on your door
    Fall back in your arms, wake up in the morning
    Hating myself for the way that I can't help the way I still want you
    I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to
    I just don't know how not to, how not to, how not to
