Don't tell me that you're lying,
'Cause i'll only make it the truth.
And don't tell me that you're leaving,
'Cause i'll force you to go.
And if you're eyes are welling up with tears,
Well, don't you dare tell me,
'Cause you can't stop your words once you've said them.
Don't tell me you're trying to forgive me,
'Cause i'll forget what you've done before
you've done it.
And don't tell me you've got no more questions,
'Cause i'll give you a reason to answer me back.
And if the whole **** city's gone down,
Well, don't you cower in the cellar,
'Cause you can't repopulate the world on your own.
Don't tell me you need to build skyscrapers,
When all you can see is under the ground.
And don't tell me your heart's someplace else,
'Cause we both know your veins are cracking through weather.
And if you're longing for time to go backwards,
Well, go pick on someone your own size,
'Cause even Gods can't fathom arrogance.
Don't tell me that beauty's indifference,
'Cause i'll make you stare 'till you can't shut your eyes.
And don't tell me my mind's filled with hatred,
'Cause i swear some of my thoughts aren't explicit.
And if you tell me it's because i love you,
Well, you're barking up the wrong tree my friend,
Because the only thing worse than betrayal is disappointment,
And a thousand sets of angry words
is a million times better than
one set of speechless eyes.
