Please don't touch me
I 've felt warm hands before
And I know it's so damn cold
When they let go

And don't tell me promises
I've heard them all before
And I know a promise is a young lie
Waiting to grow old

Please don't sing to me
I've heard your songs before
And I know how quiet it gets in here
When you end the show

So don't teach me your songs
'Cause I've sung another's for a long, long time
And when she left me
I couldn't remember mine

Don't bend, just break
Don't give, just take
My pain and your tears
What a team we make

Please don't smile at me
'Cause I've seen smiles before
And I might just walk out
Before those teeth have a chance to bite

And don't you come around
'Cause I've waited around before
And I believe that I'll close the door
So you don't bother coming in just to leave

Don't bend, just break
Don't give, just take
My pain and your tears
What a team we make

Don't say you love me
Yes I'd burn in your summer love
But I know that I'll freeze
When it begins to snow

Don't bend, just break
Don't give, just take
My pain and your tears
What a team we make
