Don't Tell Her Paroles

Paroles de Don't Tell Her

don't tell her that I drink tea and not coffee
I'd prefer if you didn't talk at all about me
even in a brief casual chat
don't tell her how I loved your smile, or things like that

don't tell her how I was your best friend
don't tell her how it could never work out in the end
don't tell her how you learned a lesson from me
and that's why you have to take things slow and easy

if you can forgive me for my faults
then maybe it can work out after all
I can't stand anybody knowing me the way you do
and I can't stand the thought of her knowing you

don't tell her about that camping trip we took
don't tell her how I bite my lip and never finish a book
don't tell her how I like to sleep in late
or that I believe in romance and fate

well, what if we meet on some cross-town street?
and you'll introduce us and we'll finally meet
and I'll be alone when you're walking away
and I'll be wondering what she's going to say
well, I know we'll never be the way we were
but don't tell her she'll never love you like the way that I do
