Don't

(álbum: Threads - 2019)

Don't
Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be fine
Don't
Tell me how my love for you will grow deeper in time

Here as I stand in the light of day
I move my lips but no one hears one word I say

So don't
Carry my suitcase and tell me how lovely I look
Don't
Dream of me ironing the sheets or learning to cook

Yesterday was a long time ago
If only I knew then what it is I now know

Is anybody out there?
Doesn't anybody understand?
Love is not a contract
Made between a woman and a man

Don't
Tell me that dreams are devised for the young and for fools
Don't
Kiss me and tell me that we can rewrite all the rules

Here as I stand in the light of day
I move my lips but no one hears one word I say

Is anybody out there?
Doesn't anybody understand?
Love is not a handshake
Made between a woman and a man

Don't
Whisper I love you and tell me it's all for the best
Don't
Tell me I'm tired, I'll feel better once I get some rest
