I DOn't Lyrics
And as you went to grab your coat that night.
I said you better not, it's still warm outside.
And then you looked at me, the way you always do.
When I say what you don't wanna hear
Even when you know it's true.
I don't want to be the cigarette that fills your lungs and snuffs you out,
I don't want to be the alcohol that fucks you up
and makes you trash your parent's house.
I don't want to be the man in red who drives a truck and cleans up all the dead.
I don't want to be your president who tells you what his god's thinking.
It seems the little things are getting to your thoughts.
But you know I'm always there,
Even when I say I'm not.
Now you take this time to put it in your head.
You think you love me more,
Forget the words we never meant.
I just want to be the phone call when you're home alone and bored of loneliness,
and I want to be the callused hand that keeps you safe and warm and innocent,
I want to be the tape deck in your car that plays you happy music,
and I want to be the argument that makes them see you're truly brilliant.
I said you better not, it's still warm outside.
And then you looked at me, the way you always do.
When I say what you don't wanna hear
Even when you know it's true.
I don't want to be the alcohol that fucks you up
and makes you trash your parent's house.
I don't want to be the man in red who drives a truck and cleans up all the dead.
I don't want to be your president who tells you what his god's thinking.
But you know I'm always there,
Even when I say I'm not.
Now you take this time to put it in your head.
You think you love me more,
Forget the words we never meant.
and I want to be the callused hand that keeps you safe and warm and innocent,
I want to be the tape deck in your car that plays you happy music,
and I want to be the argument that makes them see you're truly brilliant.
