Torn From the Pages of My Heart
I Don't Want To
I don't want to lay my heart
Out in the open like this
I don't like that my every move
Says there's something that I miss
I don't want these tears in my eyes
Nor the taunting words in my head
I don't want to hate the days
And the nights I spend on my bed
I don't want to depend my emotions
On someone, anyone who isn't there
I don't want to be all dressed up
And feel like I'm walking bare
I don't want to be stripped of my defenses
Nor feel like I'm a burning flesh
This isn't supposed to be me now
The one in an old picture on my desk
I don't want to be so confused
When it could be pure simple
I don't want to feel accused
Nor feel like I've been cut off from this world
I don't want to admit
That I could do something so dumb
Don't like that what I've tried to accomplish
Could turn out really, really bad
I don't want to lose something
When I only have so few
I don't know how to end this thing
But I don't like it that the answer could be...
