Don’t

Yousay you were tempted

Toup and walk away,

Dividedby your feelings

Andwhat other people say,

Andyou wonder,

Oh,is it all worthwhile.

 

Justkeeps getting harder

Nomatter how you try.

Shouldyou accept excuses?

Believehis alibis?

Andyou know

Whatyou really want.

Hesays “I love you so.

Honeyplease don’t go.”

Andyou don’t.

 

Howmany stories?

Howmany times have you cried?

Noone can blame you,

Theysee just how hard you’ve tried.

 

Nexttime he fills you

Withhis world of lies,

Tellsyou he’s sorry,

Nomatter how hard he tries.

Hesays he’ll change,

Ah,but you know he won’t.

Andas you walk away

He’llbeg you to stay,

Andyou don’t.
