Goodbye Blue Monday - Don't Tell Me (Acoustic)

You're sitting on the sofa
While I'm self-harming in the bathroom
I think you need to think this over
Why waste your time with me
when you know what I will put you through
You tell me you love me and you get no response
Still holding onto me when I've completely withdrawn
And I'm coldly detached while you try to connect
And try to understand and try hard to accept
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't tell me this is what you wanted
Don't tell me this is what you had in mind
I can tell that you are exhausted
Hoping everything will be alright

Lying next to you when you feel like a stranger
With your arms around me, waiting for my mood to change but
I can still feel your tears running slowly down my back
I'm aware, can't understand during a panic attack
So turn off the movie cause I can't sit still
Cancel that night out cause I'm too unstable
Stick that food in the fridge, I can't stomach another meal
Turn off the light, I need more fucking time to heal
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't tell me this is what you wanted
Don't tell me this is what you had in mind
I can tell that you are exhausted
Hoping everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

But when I'm awake all night, I'll run my finger up your spine
I'll still reach out for you even when my health is in decline
My arms flapping on Valium find their way round your neck
I might not be there for you, but I'll still remember to check
Even though you tell me not to, I will still apologise
I might have a blank stare but I will still try to meet your eyes
Even if I pull away I know that you will pull me through
The blood on the floor comes from a heart that truly loves you
