Don't

Don't you try to make me fall in love with you again
That's just too much more than this jaded heart can take
Look around and see the things
That are standing in between
Me and you

Don't make me look into those hazel eyes that change
with everything from the weather to my mood
Don't you understand
There's just some things you cannot mend
Even with time

So don't smile, don't speak
Don't do anything at all
Just stand and think
Of all we stand to loose
Of her and him
Don't you know that we are so much less than they deserve

Once upon a time
You were my everything
The moon and stars, the golden string
Tied around my heart
You gave that up to chase a dream that wasn't me
It took you ten long years to see
What we could have been
So don't you try to make me fall in love with you again

It's been nice to see your face tonight, despite the lines
Now let's embrace just one last time for old time's sake
Then you're off to hit the road
I'll head this family car back home
And go to sleep

Remember me when they bring the lights down low
When people scream your name from the tops of coliseums
Forget those nights we cried
And all the pointless lies
That we told

And just smile and sing
About a girl you used to know
Just stand and think
How it hurt to let her go
Of nights with her
When she swore to you that you were so much more than she deserved

Once upon a time you were her everything
Her moon and stars the golden string
Tied around her heart
You're living out that dream she tried to understand
As she held onto your hand and whispered
"Stay with me"
You're with the one you really love
So don't try to make her fall in love with you again, in love with you again, in love with you again
Please, don't try to make me fall in love with you again
