Hollyn's song "You Won't" is a contemporary pop track about a relationship where one person is emotionally guarded and unwilling to commit fully. The lyrics express frustration and longing as the singer wishes their partner would take a risk on love instead of staying safe. The song focuses on human romantic feelings and the pain of unrequited emotional investment, with no explicit Christian or gospel content. It does not reference God, faith, or spiritual themes, making it a secular love song rather than a worship piece.

Been going round, going round thinking you would
I tell myself, tell myself give it time you'd be good
I'd read the signs, read the signs if I knew that I should
I tell my friends, tell my friends he's just misunderstood
There's so much of you that I ignore
Cause every time you hold me I feel warm
The ground beneath our feet is never sure
So you've always had one out the door
You won't give your heart a chance to break
Standing in the shallows safe
Wish I could make you want to
Cause you're something I can't you undo
People say whatever falls just breaks
But we could be the ones who stay
Wish I could make you want to
But I know it's something that you won't do
I'm sick of you, sick of you always saying you gonna do
Do you think of me, think of me and the point that you've taken me
There's so much of you that I ignore
Cause every time you hold me I feel warm
The ground beneath our feet is never sure
So you've always had one out the door
You won't give your heart a chance to break
Standing in the shallows safe
Wish I could make you want to
Cause you're something I can't you undo
People say whatever falls just breaks
But we could be the ones who stay
Wish I could make you want to
But I know it's something that you won't do
It's just something that you won't...
It's just lying when you say you're in love with me
But undecided on just where that's supposed to lead
Whatchu want from me?
Whatchu want from me?
It's just lying when you say you're in love with me
But undecided on just where that's supposed to lead
Whatchu want from me?
Whatchu want from me?
Whatchu want from me?
You won't give your heart a chance to break
Standing in the shallows safe
Wish I could make you want to
Cause you're something I can't you undo
People say whatever falls just breaks
But we could be the ones who stay
Wish I could make you want to
But I know it's something that you won't do
It's something that you won't
You won't
It's something that you won't do
You won't do
You won't
You won't
Something that you won't
Something that you won't do
