Please don't touch my heart
It's still far too tender
I'm still running away from
All the pain I remember
Misery still breeds agony
I'm still washing away the pain
Even this gentle touch
Leaves me standing in the freezing rain
Chorus
You don't have to love me!
I didn't ask you to come near!
Don't touch me if you don't mean forever!
Do you know why you are here?
I see you laughing as you tease me
With a caress so mild
Do you know what you're doing
To this broken child?
Please don't play with me
Don't tease me with your velvet touch
I can't give the feelings back
I just can't love that much
I'm not what you think I am
Hardened eyes in an ugly face
Struggles through a lifetime
Still trying to find my place
Chorus
You don't have to love me!
I didn't ask you to come near!
Don't touch me if you don't mean forever!
Do you know why you are here?
I see you laughing as you tease me
With a caress so mild
Do you know what you're doing
To this broken child?
I want to feel
The love you gave
But I still see fake
I feel like your slave
You can't please me
So don't tease me
Memories leave nothing to say
Don't cry as I walk away...
Chorus
You don't have to love me!
I didn't ask you to come near!
Don't touch me if you don't mean forever!
Do you know why you are here?
I see you laughing as you tease me
With a caress so mild
Do you know what you're doing
To this broken child?
This broken child still cries...
