About Don't Tell Me That it's Over

"Don't Tell Me That It's Over" is the first single released from Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald's (born 25 August 1987 in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire) second studio album, A Curious Thing, released on 26 February 2010 in Germany and on 1 March 2010 in the United Kingdom. The song showcased a new musical style for Amy Macdonald, with a much heavier rock and less folk rock influenced sound than previous singles. It features a distorted electric guitar sound. Website Digital Spy commented on the song saying: "'Don't Tell Me That It's Over' is a glossier, rockier effort laced with strings that wouldn't shame a stadium-filler from Take That or Coldplay. As ever though, it's Macdonald's knack for a proper pop chorus and that irresistible Gaelic lilt that catch your ear, and her pointed lyrics that hold it. "Tell me what I'm meant to see, why are you preaching at me?" she asks popstars with A Worthy Cause fetish. Oh Bono, are you listening?"

Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried the best
Tell me what am I to do, maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they're sleeping alone
No house, nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I meant to see
Won't you stop preaching at me

And I wanna see what is all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back

Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over

All the money in the world would never set all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world will never set my heart alive
A dream of the day, when it's all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
A dream of the day when it's all gone away
The dreams are finite.

Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over

Don't tell me that it's over please I'm on my knees
I'm beggin you to stop.
Please I'm on my knees, I'm beggin you to stop.
