Don’t Tell Me

Don’t tell me it’s better
Don’t say that it’s great
Don’t tell me it’s over
Don’t tell me it’s fate

Don’t say that you left me
Don’t tell me to stay
Don’t want any questions
Or answers today

I forgot how to listen
Forgot to be kind
Forgot to be simple
Forgot I was blind

So sorry I pushed you
Sorry you’re lost
Sorry and saddened
Didn’t count on the cost

I forgot how to miss you
Forgot how to talk
Forgot how to kiss you
Forgot how to walk

Take the dirt road to nowhere
Take the good with the bad
Take the feelings that linger
Take the happy and sad

Make your way to the deep end
Take the bend at top speed
Speak your secrets out loud
Wake this little boy please

But I forgot how to listen
Forgot to be kind
Forgot to be simple
Forgot I was blind
