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 as I stand in the light of day
I move my lips but no one hears one word I say
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
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
Here as I stand in the light of day
I move my lips but no one hears one word I say
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 tell me it's all for the best
Don't tell me I'm tired, I'll feel better once I get some rest
