Duet
You ask me why, won’t you save me?
I reply, why won’t you save me?
Our tears are mirrors, smashing into splinters.
Give it time, you softly plead
Draw another line, this time one you can keep.
I’m sitting here wondering, why it’s always thundering
And never rains.
But I don’t want to know
What you’re feeling
It’s my life you’re stealing
I don’t want to know
You need healing
It’s my life you’re stealing
‘Cause I can’t say no.
You ask me why, won’t you save me?
I reply, why won’t you save me?
Our hearts have stopped beating, they just keep repeating.
Like a child, you make believe
A hungry ghost, both of us need to feed.
Sitting here wondering, why it’s always thundering
And never rains.
But I don’t want to know
What you’re feeling
It’s my life you’re stealing
I don’t want to know
You need healing
It’s my life you’re stealing
‘Cause I can’t say no.
I wanted you to love me for myself
Not because you didn’t have anyone else
I knew it was time to leave
When you said without me
You can’t breathe.
But I don’t want to know
What you’re feeling
It’s my life you’re stealing
I don’t want to know
You need healing
It’s my life you’re stealing
‘Cause I can’t say no
I should be leaving
But I watch you breathing
While you’re sleeping.
I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know, and you won’t let it show
I don’t want to know, and you won’t let it show
I don’t want to know.
