Don't Say

Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I show you
How much I cared?
Didn't you know it?
Didn't you know
It was always there?

No care for an enemy
You were always a friend
We start at the beginning
And we leave at the end

Didn't I know you?
Didn't I tell you
Just what we were?
Didn't you ask me
More than once?
Didn't I say
I was sure?

Whatever magic then
Has all but slipped away
We can't reclaim what's gone
It belongs to yesterday

But don't say
You didn't know it was coming
Don't say
You didn't know the rules
Don't say
You didn't think it would hurt much
Don't say a word

It's not like you
To talk to me
You never tried
So we'll just sit
In the ackward silence
Of goodbye

No care for the enemy
You were always my friend
We start at the beginning
And we leave at the end

But don't say
You didn't know it was coming
Don't say
You didn't know the rules
Don't say
You didn't think it would hurt much
Don't say a word
It's not like you
