Don't

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
