Don't Say

Don't say it's all gonna be okay

Don't tell me this road was the road not taken

Don't say anything

Don't smile

Don't even bat a lash

You knew how strong I felt

But you pushed away

The distance was felt

I stayed strong but there's only so much I can handle

Everyone falls 

Everyone loves

Everyone breaks down

Don't say you care

Because I believe you never did

Don't even look my way

Please

Just stay away

Let me heal this old heart of mine

But don't say goodbye

Because I can't even say it to you
