Don't Ask

Bright eyes from headlights
I hope to find the place we used to sleep
I will do everything to fix this
Swear I can change
Don't let this fade

My trembling lips don't
Hide the hell that's streaming down your face
And you can't do anything to fix this
I hear you say
"Tell me it's different and mean what you say"
You won't leave me hanging and you're not afraid

Don't ask me why
Why I wait for someone that won't show
Don't ask me how
How I stay awake when you're fast asleep
In a dream that does not involve me

Red eyes and tail lights
An open ended promise we made
I scream we could've fixed this
And ended our pain

Don't ask me, don't ask me why
Why I wait for someone that won't show
Don't ask me, don't ask me how
How I stay awake when you're fast asleep
In dreams that do not involve me

It's hard to sleep these days
Left with a ghost and it won't go away
It's all that I have left
This wishful thinking
It's hopeless today
And that may not change

Just don't ask, don't ask my why
Don't drive away
You know I'll wait
Just don't ask me, you don't have to ask me
