    Won't Even Start Lyrics
    What happened
    After last summer
    When we broke up
    In September
    I haven't seen you
    Feels like a long time
    Sometimes it still hurts
    But I always get by
    I still got a piece of you under my skin
    It's always there no matter where I've been
    So if I ever see you on the street
    I'll pretend that I didn't see
    And turn my face
    No use in small talk anyways
    Because if I look into your eyes
    Then I'll have to say goodbye
    And that'll break my heart
    So I won't even start
    I won't even start
    I wish you luck
    And I wish it true
    That's the best
    I can do for you
    'Cause you'll probably find love
    In someone new
    I have to let go
    Yeah it's hard to do
    So if I run into you with your arm by his side
    Just know it'll cut me like a knife
    So if I ever see you on the street
    I'll pretend that I didn't see
    And turn my face
    No use in small talk anyways
    Because if I look into your eyes
    Then I'll have to say goodbye
    And that'll break my heart
    So I won't even start
    I won't even start
    I'll be ok, I'll be ok
    Or that's what I'll say
    So if I ever see you on the street
    I'll pretend that I didn't see
    And turn my face
    No use in small talk anyways
    'Cause if I look into your eyes
    Then I'll have to say goodbye
    And that'll break my heart
    So I won't even start
    Oh I won't even start
    No I won't even start

    I remember watching this in my room in middle school/high school while i study, loving your music along with Kina grannis on CZcams. And now I'm 31 years old. And I still love this song and I'm happy. You've come so far. Thank you for what you give us.❤😊

    15 years ago I was 7 1/2 years old. Most of my CZcams time was spent in Computer Lab at school. We used to always get free time the last 10 or so minutes of class. I'd always check to see if KevJumba, nigahiga, or Wong Fu had posted a new video! We could get away with it back then because CZcams was still so new, teachers didn't know what was going on lol. One of those days, I saw Wong Fu had posted a new video with this guy named David Choi. He was sitting on a couch, throwing an orange in the air with Wes, while Phil played this song. By the end of the video, Wes had dropped the iconic "Shawtyyyyyy", and I was sold on this David Choi guy. The rest is history. Happy Anniversary David. Love from Long Beach 🤙🏻

    15, i was 15 years old. Never had a boyfriend at the time so i never experienced a breakup, but i had experienced one sided love lol. I loved this song so much and helped me with my unrequited love. Now im 30 with a loving husband, whom is my first in everything, and three cute children.
    I still love this song! ❤️

  • @denzylellery5611

    I was 9 years old when I first heard this song. 9 years old. I had not a clue in the world of what kind of life I would eventually live. I hadn't been in love yet, let alone felt a broken heart. I am 24 years old now and married, and I am still figuring it all out. This is one of the first songs I heard that made me feel something, it made me sentimental and open and helped set a course of a hopeless and hopeful romantic life if that makes any sense haha..It made me think about things that at the time, were beyond me and now I feel that I have caught up. You have a way with words, and I am grateful for you. I have always wanted to start a CZcams channel and I still don't know if I have what it takes to do that, but just know you've been inspiring me for a long time. Thank you for this video, happiest of anniversaries!🌻

    I was 15 in 2012 when I first heard of this song during highschool, having gone through lots of heartbreaks over the years since then. if my younger self could see me now; he'd laugh at me for shedding a tear listening to this song now. Who would've known hearing this song once more would "cut me like a knife". Thanks for the beautiful music, David! 🥲🥰❤‍🩹❤🖤

    I remember playing this song over and over on youtube and buying your first two albums. I was already a grown adult, but I was so starved for Asian American entertainment. It's crazy how the landscape has changed, and now my kids won't have to struggle with this lack of representation in movies, tv, and music.

    thank you david, i am kevin kaho tsui, from hong kong, but moved to japan since 2 years ago. i started posting covers and writing original songs because of your youtube videos when youtube first started. and ‘won’t even start’ has inspired me to write my own english songs, you made me have the belief that even as an asian singing english language songs is possible. thank you for this song, thank you for your music. thank you, david choi 🙇🏻‍♂️

    15 years i was dealing with a break up that really destroyed me, and this song, ironically, kept me going. Maybe it was naivety, but your songs, along with others like Jack Conte, have me hope. I'm still healing (from other things), but I'm better now. I'm happy where i am, and i hope you are too❤

    I actually just showed my bf the music video and launch video (with the parodies) for "Won't Even Start" recently when showing him my CZcams history.. this came out when I was in high school living home with my parents. I'm in a different country now and was really happy to see you in concert in Vancouver in 2011 and 2012.
    Thanks, David, for what you've put out into the world. And best of luck to your current and future projects!

    Can't believe it's been fifteen years. I must have been thirteen when I first stumbled on one of your videos. You only had a couple of covers up at that point that you made out of your bedroom. When this song came out, I was sure that there was no stopping you. Pre-teen me had all the confidence in the world that you were going to be the biggest star in the world. Life has taken a lot of turns since then, but I'm glad you're still pursuing what you love. All the best. I'll be here rooting for you.
