I Don'T Want To Know
If our story has an ending...I don't want to know...
I shall put my hands up to my eyes, and turn my head away
If goodbye words must be written, I don't want the world to know
Please don't spread the word......If you care at all....what the ending said
I cannot bear to know......
Let's pretend instead .....
I cannot bear to know
Was I a fool to think you loved me
before the ink was dry?...
Was it just my fantasy........?
What I always thought was meant forever...did it come with a goodbye?
Was I blinded by the moonlight, and dazzled by a lie?
Were we writing different stories, in our different worlds apart?
Were you ripping empty pages, while I filled my own with heart?
Was I a fool to let stars blind me, not to read between the lines?
Was I lost in the dark........from the very start?
Let us turn to chapter one again, and start it all again
We can skip the end..........We'll begin again...we'll begin when love was new
Where the pages lie unwritten, and the words are yet unsaid
If goodbye words must be written, I don't want the world to know
Please don't spread the word......If you care at all.....what the ending said
If our story has an ending.....let us put it on the shelf
If our story has an ending.....please keep it to yourself
I can't bear to know......let's pretend instead ..... pretend it isn't so
If our story has an ending...I don't want to know...
I shall put my hands up to my eyes, and turn my head away
