Don't look into my eyes and tell me you love me when you don't know.
Just don't do that.
Don't kiss me so passionatly if you have any intention of taking it back.
Just don't do that.
Don't walk my way and look, only to not say anything at all.
Just don't do that.
Don't get my hopes up, only to tear them down again.
Just don't do that.
Don't turn your back on me after promising to stay forever.
Just don't do that.
Don't give up on me.
Don't do that.
It hurts.

Don't hold back the words you really mean.

That reminds me, rhythm-wise, of Meatloaf/Jim Steinman's "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" And I don't mean that as an offense.

Enjoyed this.

I really liked this one, it was written very honestly...I've felt like saying this to people a few times in my life, and it's comforting somehow to hear that someone else can relate to it.
Thanx for the good read

Brutal Honesty.
While it might feel good at the time, it hurts eventually.

Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.
