Oh when the fear settles in When absurdity grabs me by the hand When my future's gone dim When I thick has turned thin Look away And when I face turns spoilt Just cause I won't do what I'm told When I break like a child Cause I won't get it all Walk away Please, don't tell me you understand Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man And please, don't tell me you understand Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man And when I say, I can't bear Holding on to what will be taken away When I'd rather let go And pretend all is lost Look away And when my eyes sink deep And I'd rather kill what I can't keep When I beg for your pity Cause I want you as low as I Look away Please, don't tell me you understand Cause what's a girl to do with such a good man And please, don't tell me you understand
