Don’t Ask

Don’t Ask

Don't ask me to explain,

Why I feel like I do,

How I find it far too hard,

Trying to keep it all from you.

Oh I do know how it feels,

And that you must feel it too,

I know just how it hurts,

From either point of view.

Yes, I can be solid,

And I can play strong,

If I didn't know,

What I'm doing was wrong.

It shouldn't be like this,

We ought not to fall,

The doubters all say,

Ignorant to it all.

I can be cold to it,

I can be cool,

I will protect myself,

From looking a fool.

But why would I do it?

What would it be for?

It protects me from watching,

My heart rot to core.

It's not a decision,

I'm not in control,

If I could do that,

It would all be a stroll.

To who, is it, lover,

We try to comply?

Is it them, is it you?

Is it us, is it I?
