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.
