Don't. If. It. Hurts

Don't pretend, because I can see right through you

Don't lie, because you don't do it very well

Don't cry, because I'm long past feeling sorry

Don't talk, because I've had enough of empty words

 

If it's such a struggle, challenge it

If it's going to be a long road, start walking

If it's got to be done in good time, get moving

If it's got to be you alone, don't ask me to come with

 

It isn't that I don't care for you, but I am not inclined to care for what you do

It isn't that you're not special; you are, and you don't need me to remind you

It isn't that you don't need me; you do, but I can't be there all the time

It isn't that I don't love you; I do, but I can only give you so much without giving myself away.
