Don'T

Don't leave me here hanging by a string
Don't tempt me with your wild and wonderful things
Don't try to now give me back my heart
When you know it was yours right from the very start

Don't simply close me out
Don't pretend with me, you know between us you grasp the truth and have no doubts
Don't make it seem like you don't know what our love is and has always been all about
Heartaches that have touched our lives there maybe many but let's not even try to count

Don't you turn away from me and walk away
Don't go and make it seem like you can't hear what I have to say
Don't you shut that door
Open it and your heart back up to me like before

Don't you keep haunting me every night in my dreams
Don't you think that everything is supposed to be just as it seems
Don't you know you are so endlessly deep inside my soul
Over me you have utter devotion and complete control

Don't treat me kind then be so cruel
Don't be so coy and cool
Don't then take me for a fool
You know you are breaking each and every rule

Don't you realize that I love you unlike she ever could
Don't you get that I want so much to show you love like she can't but should
Don't you see I'm stronger than you know now unlike before when I was so weak
I can give you answers to the questions that you seek

Don't think that I really couldn't possibly still love you
Don't act like I know exactly what now to do
Don't you even dare to believe I'm okay and am pushing through
Since your no longer calling me you really have no apparent clue

Don't you know it's not you she longs in the night to hold
Don't you always think about how she acts toward you, how she's constantly so cold
Don't you wonder how long will you be able to go on with her when will it all gets old
Maybe what I'm saying is too forward, but when it comes to you I do dare to be bold

Don't you understand even if we did go our separate ways, my love will never desert you
Don't you know I wouldn't dream or never would I try to hurt you
Don't you see staying with her, danger is with what you flirt
My heart is bleeding for you still here on the sleeve of my shirt

Don't you get it what you and I for all these years have been missing
Don't you realize we need to just stop all of this resisting
Don't you feel it so deep down, these emotions you are trying to hide, it's a game you will 
never win
So we both know that to this we should succumb to the moment, yes we might as well just 
give in
