Don't Say

Don't say it's all gonna be okay

Don't tell me this road was the road not taken

Don't say anything

Don't smile

Don't even bat a lash

You knew how strong I felt

But you pushed away

The distance was felt

I stayed strong but there's only so much I can handle

Everyone falls 

Everyone loves

Everyone breaks down

Don't say you care

Because I believe you never did

Don't even look my way

Please

Just stay away

Let me heal this old heart of mine

But don't say goodbye

Because I can't even say it to you

There's so many things you just don't want to hear or face when you're hurt. Especially those empty platitudes people throw at you. Great poem Aly... ;-)

Unsorted feelings in this one...never being able to say good-bye means never letting go.
Good one Aly, I couldn't seem to find that song.

[Aly]

She's an LDS singer so her music is kinda hard to find, but go to
