Don't ask me to stay forever
That's not the way I play
this game that everybody says
they want to win someday
Don't ask me to hold your heart yet
I couldn't stand the guilt
if it all went wrong and brought you down
after everything we'd built

Don't ask me what you could change for me
Don't ask me how to be my everything
Don't ask me why, oh, please, just let it be
Just let it go, and we'll see

Don't ask 'cause I don't know yet
the way this true love goes
or whether losing someone's love
is worse than to never know
Don't say I go too slowly
'cause that's just how I play
this game they say I'll never win
I'll prove them wrong someday

Don't ask me what you could change for me
Don't ask me how to be my everything
Don't ask me why, oh, please, just let it be
Just let it go, and we'll see

Don't ask me to stay forever
'cause I won't play that game
and if you just can't deal with that,
then find someone else to play

Don't ask me what you could change for me
Don't ask me how to be my everything
Don't ask me why, oh, please, just let it be
Just let it go, and we'll see
