Don’t Tell Me It’s Over​​blink-182

Released: June 12, 2001

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I hear the phone, it rings so violently
Can't leave my room, can't breathe since she left me
I will admit, I hate those things I said
Girls will always cry, guys will never admit they did

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls most do mean trouble
Because they are rarely honest

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
What's with the jokes, all the routines they play
Screw with my head, never cave 'til they get their way
Guys like to run, chicks love to yell, you see
Guys hate to fight, girls think it's therapy

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls most do mean trouble
Because they are rarely honest

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls most do mean trouble
Because they are rarely honest
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running
There's no use for explanation
I think things are too hopeful
Even with my expert knowledge
Most girls most do mean trouble
Because they are rarely honest

[Outro: Tom DeLonge]
Don't tell me that it's over
I'm not used to this temptation...

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
