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
15 years of "Won't Even Start". Thank you all
No way its been 15 years, feels like it was yesterday bro damn....
I like how you do it now.
It feels like my high school days are flashing just before my eyes as I hear your song. I saw you performed this once when cellphone does not have good cameras back then. Thank you for being a precious part of my childhood❤❤❤
Thank YOU, David! ❤😊
Love you David!
I remember watching this in my room in middle school/high school while i study, loving your music along with Kina grannis on UA-cam. 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.❤😊
Same background. Now I'm 33
Teared up seeing this. Same boat as you being 31 goodbumps
Another member of the 30's gang here
Well, I'm happily married now, but just gonna sit here at work and listen to this on repeat for awhile and remember all the pain this song helped me get through when I was younger. Such a magical time of UA-cam. Hope you recognize the reach you had. Thanks for this!
I was 15 when this came out. Wow. Glad I grew up with this youtube era. Legends.
I listened to this song after my very first break up. It still hits hard.
15 years ago I was 7 1/2 years old. Most of my UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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 🤙🏻
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 UA-cam 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!🌻
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! ❤️
I still miss opening UA-cam and seeing a new song that you just posted. I hope life is treating you well, just know that we will ALWAYS cherish your music and we are hungry for more.
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 🙇🏻♂️
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 can’t believe it’s been 15 years 🥲❤️
The Golden Years of UA-cam! Loved the music video with Wong Fu and everything about the song.
One of the UA-cam OGs
Crazy how time has flown by
UA-cam used to be so new and fresh
Finding real artists like you was always so exciting :)
This song is a repeat classic.
This song takes me straight back to my childhood heartbreak, it was such a comfort. Now I'm happily married and it's great to see so many other comments like that. We let David tell us "I'll be OK" and look at us now!
The nostalgia hits hard with this one...
Song didn’t resonate me when I was younger. But now i’m 27, end of a 7 year strangers again. Thank you for this live anniversary gift David
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❤
Wishing you all the best internet stranger
I heard this song playing over the intercom radio at the Honolulu airport the other day. I'm so happy these songs still get played!
My now husband introduced me to this song 15 years ago when we first met! Your song takes me back to those happy days! ♡
I went to ur gig around 2009-2010 in hardrock cafe jakarta, indonesia. I remember being scare bc take a bus alone from rural city to big city, but so excited to see u perform. Gosh. Time flies. Still loving u here ❤❤❤❤
One of the first songs I learned on the guitar and performed at my school recital. I remember this song hitting hard as I dealt with high school relationship troubles 😂 just turned 30, married and have two kids. Still hits. Thanks 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.
Beautiful comment
Even better the original ❤️ Your voice has aged like a fine wine, David. Good to see you still kickin'!
Thx for reminding me I'm old now. Can't believe it's been 15 years! Love it as much as I did 15 years ago. 😊
Always loved your music. Felt like it was me, being seen. Keep it up, David. 😌
15 years ago i was 15, bout to turn 30 now. i remember going back to your cover of You Belong To Me a lot back then. Can't seem to find it anymore but I still remember it vividly. Saw your proposal vid when it came out, and I see you have a kid now. congrats on that. here's to another 15
I went to see your performance in 2015(or around then) when you came to Korea!! It was a small venue in Hongdae and I went with my then boyfriend. Wow it’s almost been a decade since… thank you for the amazing experience❤
I still listen to this song on a daily basis
I remember thinking your music was the best if ever listened and deserved all the awards and acclaim. I know you don’t do it for that, but thank you for the songs that for me through young adulthood ❤️
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.
i literally was just listening to this ... i missed u David, u were the first artist i've ever bought an album from when i was 13 years old!
Great, how I have to explain to colleagues why I'm getting teary. The wave of flashbacks/memories this gave me, my god.. So much happened since I had this on repeat 15 years ago.
This brought me way back to college. Amazing nostalgia. Thank you for doing this. Glad we’re finally seeing you smile, David. 😊
My most favorite David Choi song. Can’t believe it has been 15 years.
this was great live. still remember seeing this in Taiwan. thank you David Choi for the music and the memories.
Still play the original to this day. ❤
Still got me hurting even now 🥹
nostalgiaaaa.... hope you and your family are doing well... who remember dcmf... rise up!! xD
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 UA-cam 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!
I will literally just find a car with a cd player to listen to your whole cd again. This brought so many memories ❤❤
Damn the memories. Thank you, David
THERE IS NO WAY, I JUST, I CAN'T
I remember the day this song was released, can't believe it's already been 15 years!
The nostalgia I feel when I listen to this is so comforting. Thank you for this -- it still makes me emotional, but this time over how far I've come since this first came out. You made my day!
I was 25 back then. Still a beautiful tune!
This song pops up in my head once in awhile. I'll remember the lyrics, but not who sang it. Now I remember!!!!
I still hum this song. Which brought me to this gem bc I wanted to hear it. Thank you. Hope you are doing well. ❤
Listened to this non-stop in high school & now, going through a recent breakup, it hits different. Such a pleasant surprise (,:
Theres not a lot of songs that bring me right back to my childhood but this is one of them. Thank you David for this masterpiece of a song!
I still remember going to a show where you and Kina performed in San Francisco in what was like a little bar. Good times.
Sending lots of love from SF!!! I remember discovering your songs in eighth grade around the same time I started watching WongFu... wow time flies
Man, same David Choi I used to listen to when I was in highschool. This video brings me back to my younger years. God bless this man. Thank you for the music. ❤ Cheers!!!
wow and suddenly im back in the tail-end of elementary school with my dinky 8gb ipod touch, heartbroken over a girl that i didn't have the guts to confess to. so many cringeworthy yet innocent and fond memories. thanks for being a part of some of my most formative years david! i hope you're doing well :)
Your still great,...feel like yesterday that i listening your songs non stop here in youtube,...and youtube before has no ads lol
This song still resonates a decade later. Damn 🫠
Thank you for running this classic back. Always happy to hear from you. Loved the stream btw lol
This was so beautiful! Brought me right back to the “That Girl” days
Dear David, I know you have been feeling like going back to touring and feeling certain ways. I want you to know as a loyal 15 year fan, I will come see you even if you're busking on the street, in a random cafe or music shop or in a giant concert hall. just pull the trigger do a short tour, we'll come to you wherever you are.
100%%
He's back! I'm all for it!
This is incredible! I've listened to this song so many times over the years...
Feels like just yesterday I was working at Quik with Sam and he introduced me to your music. Still loving it 🙌🏻
I would love just a casual replay of your music. So nostalgic.
Sounds just as good as ever. Well done, David!

Your music takes me back to highschool
The countless plays throughout my middle school and high school years. I remember walking home and listening to this so often; you helped me a lot through those years. I'm about to enter my late twenties now! Thanks David!

This is so magical, you dont even know. Your music was like the soundtrack to my life in my late teens/early twenties. I listened to this song on repeat, sobbing, after my first break up. ❤ love you! Also loved hearing your little girl in the background hehe
Love to you, David. Thanks for growing up but still honoring us all with this homage.
