Don't Tell Me Lyrics

You're sitting on the sofa

While I'm self-harming in the bathroom

I think you need to think this over

Why waste your time with me

when you know what I will put you through

You tell me you love me and you get no response

Still holding onto me when I've completely withdrawn

I'm coldly detached while you try to connect

And try to understand and try hard to accept

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't tell me this is what you wanted

Don't tell me this is what you had in mind

I can tell that you are exhausted

Hoping everything will be alright

Lying next to you when you feel like a stranger

With your arms around me, waiting for my mood to change but

I can still feel your tears running slowly down my back

I'm aware, can't understand during a panic attack

So turn off the movie cause I can't sit still

Cancel that night out cause I'm too unstable

Stick that food in the fridge, I can't stomach another meal

Turn off the light, I need more fucking time to heal

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't tell me this is what you wanted

Don't tell me this is what you had in mind

I can tell that you are exhausted

Hoping everything will be alright

Everything will be alright

But when I'm awake all night, I'll run my finger up your spine

I'll still reach out for you even when my health is in decline

My arms flapping on Valium find their way round your neck

I might not be there for you, but I'll still remember to check

Even though you tell me not to, I will still apologise

I might have a blank stare but I will still try to meet your eyes

Even if I pull away, I know that you will pull me through

The blood on the floor comes from a heart that truly loves you

Loves you
