Don't You Tell Me

Tired and embattled
I lay in your bed
On a night that has forgotten every star
And I've cried every tear
And I've held every breath
But I've never even held you in my arms

I tell you 'bout my fears
With my head on your knee
Oh, every single one's come true so far
And I swear I'm in love
But then how could I be
When I've never even held you in my arms?

Don't you tell me you understand
I don't need your every word to heal me through
All I need is to love some man
Who looks at me that way you do

Now I've got no delusion
Of things we would say
Alone in this room in the dark
You might love me
But not in that way
You've never even held me in your arms

Don't you tell me you understand
I don't need your every word to heal me through
All I need is to love some man
Who looks at me that way you do

Now most times a love song
Is bitter and bruised
Because somebody tore you apart
But I haven't been broken
No, I haven't been used
You've never even held me in your arms

So don't you tell me you understand
I don't need your every word to heal me through
All I need is to love some man
Who looks at me that way you do
Who looks at me that way you do
