Don't tell me you'll hold me That everything's gonna be fine Don't tell me how your love For me will grow deeper in time Here as I stand in the light of day I move my lips but no one hears one word I say Don't carry my suitcase And tell me how lovely I look Don't dream of me ironing the sheets Or learning to cook Oh, yesterday was a long time ago If only I knew then what it is I now know Is anybody out there? Doesn't anybody understand? Love is not a contract Made between a woman and a man Don't tell me that dreams are devised For the young and for fools Don't kiss me and tell me That we can rewrite all the rules Oh, yesterday was a long time ago If only I knew then what it is I now know Is anybody out there? Doesn't anybody understand? Love is not a handshake Made between a woman and a man Don't whisper "I love you" And say that it's all for the best Don't tell me "I'm tired, I'll feel better Once I get some rest" Thank you, it's Lucius
