Don't ask me that which you wouldn't want to know.

Don't ask me that which you are not prepared to accept.

Don't ask me that which you would not understand.

Don't ask me that which you will not like.



Do you remember your heartaches when you were a kid?

Do you remember the bitterness that you've planted in your heart?

Have you ever forgotten your hurts when you were young?

Have you ever forgiven the one that made you hurt?



Isn't it ironic how the tables are now turned?

Isn't it ironic that now you've reversed roles?

Isn't it ironic that what you planted is now what you sow?

Isn't it ironic that you've never learned to let go?



Now you will face the same burden and will see how the tables have turned

Now you will see what's on the other side and understand what it felt like

Did you think you were justified then?

Would you think you are justified now?



I don't want to give you the burden of knowing that which you would not be able to handle

Remorse, regret, disappointment and failure are bad companions to take to the grave

Bitterness, despair and hopelessness aren't any good either



So let me spare you these things

Please don't ask me that which you wouldn't want to know
