Don Conoscenti

(for sara)

don't force your wounded pain upon her.
that won't bring her back to you.
believe her when she says she'll find another.
don't force her to be cruel.
you sneak around, hope to catch her
in the arms of some new lover.
so you can scream betrayal be the martyred fool.
rain your bitter tears down on her
but she's not in love with you.

she's not in love with you. mourn a million years,
cry a billion tears...she's not in love with you.

you're telling everybody
how she took your world apart.
made you a ghost among the living.
swear that you will haunt her
'cause she crushed your little heart.
don't have the strength to be forgiving
but what else can you do?

she's not in love with you. mourn a million years,
cry a billion tears...she's not in love with you.

tape her picture to the mirror.
dream up lies she never told.
hold a match up to the image.
she stares back as if to say
it's you who has gone cold.

don't force your grievous pain upon her.
what good's that gonna do?
believe her when she says
she will find another
'cause she's not in love with you.
