don't tell her

Lyrics

don't tell her that i drink tea and not coffee, i'd prefer if you didn't talk at all about me, even in a brief casual chat, don't tell her how i loved your smile, or things like that, don't tell her how i was your best friend, don't tell her how it could never work out in the end, don't tell her how you learned a lesson from me, and that's why you have to take things slow and easy, if you can forgive me for my faults, then maybe it can work out after all, i can't stand anybody knowing me the way you do, and i can't stand the thought of her knowing you, don't tell her about that camping trip we took, don't tell her how i bite my lip and never finish a book, don't tell her how i like to sleep in late, or that i believe in romance and fate, well, what if we meet on some cross-town street?, and you'll introduce us and we'll finally meet, and i'll be alone when you're walking away, and i'll be wondering what she's going to say, well, i know we'll never be the way we were, but don't tell her, don't tell her that i'm too old for my age, don't tell her that this love of mine was just a stage, she doesn't need to know my point of view, she'll never love you like the way that i do
