Don't Tell Me

Don't tell me you love me

If you'll only break my heart

Don't build me up like a skyscraper

If you'll only end up tearing me apart.

Don't tell me you need me

It will only make my heart hope

Don't tell me you want me

Then turn my love into a joke.

Don't make me promises

In shapes with hidden faces

Don't tell me I'm important to you

Then leave me lost between the spaces.

Don't paint a picture of the future

Then place me inside it

If you can't see past the moment,

Don't beg to differ or try to deny it.

Don't speak of change

If it's not sincerely within you

But rather tell the truth, free my soul-

It’s the very least that you can do.
