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.
