Lyrics
How are you, are you doing OK?
A throw away question we hear every day
I know I've not always been straight with you
Like a struggling salesman bending the truth
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Set up the road blocks now
Don't want to go down that road
Don't tell me I don't want to know
The truth hurts so much
And I don't want to let you go
You won't believe that I'm feeling the same
The little white lies we tell to cover the pain
Sometimes just how it is, is just too much
Look at my make-up now running with tears
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Set up the road blocks now
Don't want to go down that road
Don't tell me I would rather not know
The truth hurts so much
And I don't want to let you go
I need you but I'm running scared
I close my eyes and I'm stuck right back there
Home early from work a strange car parked outside
It's hard to breath when these three worlds collide
Don't tell me the truth I can't face it yet
What's gone is gone and I can't forget
Don't tell me I don't want to know
Set up the road blocks now
Don't want to go down that road
Don't tell me I would rather not know
The truth hurts so much
And I don't want to let you go
No I don't want to let you go
