Rearrange Your Words
Rearrange your words so that you’re only telling me lies, I don’t want to hear the truth, can’t you just don a disguise?
Rearrange your words so that the meaning isn’t the same, instead of telling me that you must go, instead say that you can stay
Rearrange your words so that you don’t end up breaking my heart, instead say words that will make me feel as though this isn’t the end, it’s the start
Please just dismiss your troops that you have rallied up against me, and tell them to take their cruel words and just turn around and leave
Instead of telling me that you’re not man enough to let me go, instead tell me that you never will, that I am the other half of your soul
Don’t tell me that you don’t want to give me false hope because we can never truly be, instead tell me that you will find a way and it will be you and me
Don’t tell me that you’ll miss me when you go, instead turn around and look into my eyes and say, “Pain you will never know”
Don’t look into my eyes and silently plead with me to understand, just open your heart to me, please for me, take a stand
Don’t ask me if I can hear the music that plays from your heart, knowing that I’ll never hear it again, instead place my head on your chest so that I can feel protected
Don’t tell me maybe one day our dream may come true, instead look into my eyes and tell me that you will do whatever it takes, whatever you must do
Don’t tell me that I made you feel like you weren’t dead inside but that you can’t stay, tell me that you’re thankful that I helped you find your way
Don’t tell me that you found what you had looked for all your life but can’t have it in the end, just look into my eyes and let go of the struggle, just take me by the hand
Don’t tell me that we can never be, that it’s just too hard, instead tell me that you love me, that you’ll never break my heart
Don’t tell me that this is just the way that things must be, instead take me into your loving arms and feel my love for you inside, let your mind sleep
Don’t tell me that if things were different, we could have been, instead be with me and be happy for the rest of your life instead of having to play pretend
Don’t tell me that you’ll never forget me, instead be here so that you don’t have to, don’t tell me that you could never hate me, instead love me the way that you want to
Don’t tell me goodbye, please don’t let those words be the last that you say, instead tell me that you love me forever and always, and that you’ll see me soon one day.
