Don't run your hands over my legs and tell me that i'm beautiful.

Do you see the gashes on them, the scars from my self-inflicted pity?

Don't kiss my lips and tell me i'm perfect for you,

Do you see that I cry every night because i'm upset with life itself?

Don't stare at my unclothed body, saying that i'm a goddess.

Do you see a halo, do you see wings?  Or do you see a charred mortal?

Don't kiss me all over and bathe me in your love,

Does it look like I deserve such heavenly praise?

Don't make sweet love to me underneath the night sky,

Do I look like a Mother that could be responsible enough?

Don't tell me you need me,

Because, don't you live when i'm not around?

Don't tell me i'm your everything.

Do I make your heart beat every rhythm?

Don't tell me that i'm the reason for your happiness,

Aren't you sad when you're with me, also?

Don't tell me that we're soulmates,

Do you see that you've had to change to love me?

Don't tell me that i'm your one and only,

Are all the chances for your "bride" terminated?

Don't tell me that you want me to have your children,

You never do and if you did, how do you know there's not someone better?

Don't tell me you want my hand,

Aren't you young, still?

Don't tell me you'll be around forever,

Aren't you unsure of your life's direction, yet?

Don't tell me that you've found your life,

Has it even started?

How do you know i'm the best for you,

When i'm the first you've experienced?

Don't tell me forever is forever,

Because forever is a long, long time.

Although I know forever is forever,

And that's why I keep on saying that I will be there, forever.
