I Don't Wanna Live Forever [Fifty Shades Darker]

Share:

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call
It's just a cruel existence like it's no point hoping at all

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life, oh

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
Up all night, all night and every day
I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Until you come back home

The lyrics to Zayn feat. Taylor Swift's song "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" speak to the pain of a relationship ending and wanting that person to return. The opening line, "Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is stuck inside their own head, and the uncertainty of whether or not their former lover will return causes them to feel crazy.

The chorus repeats the sentiment of not wanting to live without the other person, stating, "I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain, and I don't wanna fit wherever." The singer is feeling lost without the one they love and wants them back in their life, regardless of where or how they fit.

The second verse adds a layer of regret to the mix, with the singer questioning if they made the right decision by ending the relationship. They wonder if they have lost the love of their life or if they managed to dodge a bullet. The overall mood of the song is one of longing and despair, with the melody mirroring the lyrics' emotions.

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call
I've been waiting and hoping for you to reach out, but it feels like an impossible desire.

It's just a cruel existence like it's no point hoping at all
This feeling of wanting you is unbearable, and it seems pointless to hope anymore.

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I feel overwhelmed and lost without you.

Up all night, all night and every day
I can't sleep and can't stop thinking about you, day and night.

Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
I need some kind of response from you, but instead, you give me nothing, and it's driving me insane.

What is happening to me?
I can't understand why I'm feeling this way or why you're not responding to me.

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
Without you, life feels meaningless, and I don't want to spend forever feeling this way.

And I don't wanna fit wherever
I don't want to belong anywhere if you're not there with me.

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I will keep reaching for you, calling out your name, until you come back to me.

I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
I can't stop thinking about you, and it's consuming my every thought.

Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life, oh
I can't tell if it was a lucky escape or if I've lost the person I love the most.

I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
I put effort into this relationship, but you're not even trying to meet me halfway.

I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
I'm trying to mask my sadness, but it's written all over my face.

I see you around in all these empty faces
I keep seeing hints of you everywhere, but it's always just a reminder of what I've lost.

Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is
I'm so desperate to see you that I'm in a cab headed straight to your doorstep.

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
My love for you is unending, and I will not stop searching for you until you come back to me.
