Don't Tell Me

Don't tell me you're a stepping stone

cause I'll step all over you and won't mean it

Don't tell me I'm not capable

cause I'll prove that I am if it kills me

Don't try to hold me in your hand

cause living things move, and I surely will

You've got your friends and I've got mine

And wouldn't you know, they were right

I won't tell you that your beautiful

cause you'll think I want *** and don't mean it

I won't tell you that

I want to spend the rest of my life with you again

I won't quote the four agreements

though you'd get f*cking centered if you'd read it

I won't think of you the way I do

Don't tell me will

Take me away from the other you

The one I thought I never knew

I'm not the man you'd thought I'd be

I'm ready for another me

I've gone away from other days

I've weighed my change and changed my ways

Been crazed and turned for turns of phrase

And now I'm left with you

Why can't I love just that

Instead of all the loves that leave my bed?

And all the lives I've never led

Looks like there's still another blank page to fill

Until I've had my fill of you

So thanks for the tips on carpet

And thanks for your taste in shoes

If we could learn to love those little lessons

There'd be a little less to lose

But if you find another love

whose going to hold you like me

And have these little talks until a quarter to three

And wait until you're ready for intimacy

Don't tell me

Don't tell me
