Don'T Say

I don’t say because I don’t want to say
Talking is a game I don’t want to play
I don’t say because my words last
I don’t say because you don’t ask.

It’s the silence I give that says the most to you
I don’t wasn’t to chat, don’t want to boast to you
I don’t want to talk, or take your time
Why don’t you ignore me, pretend I’m a mime.

I’m not looking for sympathy, pity, or gossip
I never even asked, so right now just stop this
I don’t want to talk back then, tomorrow, or today
How about instead of talking, I just don’t say.

It’s the words that you drabble that I don’t give, I don’t take.
For me, it’s simple silence that I would rather make
So if you ask me whatever, I won’t tell you, okay?
Don’t talk, don’t listen, don’t ask, don’t say.
