Don'T Touch Me
DON’T TOUCH ME
MEANS MORE THAN WHAT IT SEEMS
DON’T TOUCH ME
COMES FROM A WOMAN WHO'S BEEN
HURT
DON’T TOUCH ME
COMES FROM A WOMAN WHO'S BEEN
LIED TO AND PUSHED INTO THE DIRT
I REFUSE TO PRETEND ANOTHER DAY
DON’T TOUCH ME AGAIN
OR I SWEAR YOU'LL PAY
DON’T TOUCH ME SHOULD TELL YOU
THAT YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME
SO WHEN I SAY DON’T TOUCH ME
KNOW THAT IT GOES DEEP
DEEPER THAN YOU'VE EVER LOVED ME
DEEPER THAN YOUR MENTAL CAPACITY
DEEPER THAN ANOTHER EXCUSE
DEEPER THAN ALL OF THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE
DEEPER THAN THE MOST HURTFUL THING
THAT YOU’VE EVER SAID
KNOW WHEN I TELL YOU
NOT TO TOUCH ME
IT COMES FROM A PITIFUL PLACE
DON’T TOUCH ME
COMES FROM BEING CALLED ALL THOSE PITIFUL THINGS
BEING PUT DOWN
BEING LET DOWN
REALLY IT’S A PITIFUL THING
DON’T TOUCH ME
COMES FROM ALL THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
WORRIED ABOUT YOU
ALL THOSE PITIFUL NIGHTS
DON’T TOUCH ME
COMES FROM YEARS OF TOLERANCE
JUST BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A COMFORTABLE SITUATION
I WAS COMFORTED ALRIGHT
COMFORTED AFTER EACH BRUISE
BEING COMFORTABLE HAS NEVER HURT ME
WHAT HAS HURT ME IS SIMPLY BEING WITH YOU
YOUR TOUCH JUST
REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER LIE
ANOTHER HIT, EXCUSE
ANOTHER LULLABY
THEN YOU CHARM IT UP
AND TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO HEAR
THEN YOU TOUCH ME
AND THE CYCLE CONTINUES
SORRY, BUT NOT THIS TIME
SO PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH ME
YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE BOY
JUST LET ME BE
AND WHILE I WALK AWAY
HE WILL NOTICE JUST ONE MORE THING
THAT WOMAN THAT HE USED TO TOUCH
HAS FINALLY MOVED ON TO BETTER THINGS
