I do not want a lover, I do not want to feel
My life being severed as fantasy becomes real
I do not want to fight, I do not want songs
To shine a light in my sheets and keep me up all night long
I do not want marriage, I do not want thoughts
Of a moonlit carriage riding us to our lots
I do not want photos of us kissing in the rain
Because when we pursue solos, they will surely bring disdain
I do not want to hug, I do not want to kiss
They only bring a taste to love and a scent to miss
I do not want gifts, I do not want to belong
Nor do I want a soul to uplift or to say I was wrong
I do not want a million questions, and I do not want to be rude
But I am not a possession and sometimes I'm in a bad mood
I do not want phone calls, I do not want to let
Someone hold my hand in the halls, I do not want regrets
I do not want a lover, I do not want to feel
My heart is always severed by the end of the meal
I do not want love to feel right, and don't get me wrong
I love you this night, to you I belong
But I do not want this to end, not on bad terms
To you, my soul I lend, and I get what I earn
I do not want to hurt you as you've done to me
I do not want to love you
Why can't I leave?
