Don't

I am not irresistible
Not something so desirable
I can’t deny I like the looks
Ain’t I a woman too?

And you wouldn’t be out of sight
Were things diff’rent, this would be right
Were your brave words one step too far?
There’s nothing I can do…

Don’t want to lose you, precious friend
Don’t want you having to pretend
Don’t want to hurt you when too close
Don’t want to shut this door

Don’t want to see you stung like this
Don’t want you having to resist
Don’t want to see you hurt yourself
Don’t want you on the floor

I do not want to burn this bridge
But your wounds are beyond my stitch
The moment’s bad, you’ve come too late
It’s even worse this time

But I cannot say yes to you
Can’t trust myself, can’t be untrue
Can’t even try to give this back
This candle will not shine

Don’t want to lose you, precious friend
Don’t want you having to pretend
Don’t want to hurt you when too close
Don’t want to shut this door

Don’t want to see you stung like this
Don’t want you having to resist
Don’t want to see you hurt yourself
Don’t want you on the floor
