Don't Tell Me

I don't want to love you
Please stand back
I have seen your cinders
Burning black

Don't tell me
Sweet baby
Don't tell me
I can't bear to know

The moth flies to the candle
Burning bright
All that's left are ashes
In the night

Don't tell me
Sweet baby
Don't tell me
I can't bear to know

Please

I have seen
The way you look at me
Laser eyes
I don't know...
I don't know

A little flower burning
In the snow
Saw your footsteps coming
Long ago

Don't tell me
Sweet baby
Don't tell me
I can't bear to know

Please

I have seen
The way you look at me
Laser eyes
I don't know...
I don't know

But I don't want to love you
Please stand back
I have seen your cinders
Burning black

Don't tell me
Sweet baby
Don't tell me
I can't bear to know
I can't bear to know
Sweet baby
