Don't hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be fine
Don't tell me how my love for you will grow deeper in time
Here I stand in the light of day
I move my lips but no one hears what I say
So
So
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
Don't
Tell me that dreams are devised for the young and for fools
Don't
Don't
Kiss me and tell me that we can rewrite all the rules
Here as I stand in the light of day
I move my lips but no one hears what I say
I move my lips but no one hears what I say
Is anybody out there
Does anybody understand
Love is not a handshake
Made between a woman and a man
Yes, it is
Yes, it is
Yes, it is
Yes, it is
Don't whisper I love you
And tell me it's all for the best
Don't tell me I'm tired
I'll feel better once I get some rest
