You say “talk to me” Then you shut me down I light one up You hate the sound (you hate everything – everything) Same damn room Same old look Every move I make Misunderstood (misunderstood – everything) Don’t ask me I don’t know what it is Don’t ask me Why it’s always like this One word helps (one word please) One word cuts me loose Don’t ask me I don’t know what to choose Verse 2 (rock. piano, guitar, drums) Some days you want heat Some days you want space You say “be honest” Then you slap my face (you kill me my love – you really do) I watch my tone I watch my step Try to read your eyes Before you speak to me (misunderstood – everything) Don’t ask me If I’m wrong or right Don’t ask me Why I don’t sleep at night I’m still here Still taking the bruise Don’t ask me I don’t know how to choose Bridge (half-time, dirty blues, piano) I’m dancing on landmines Bare feet and a smile One wrong word, one wrong look And I won’t hear from you for miles Love ain’t clean, love ain’t fair It don’t come with warning signs If you want me to read your mind Baby, read a little of mine Don’t ask me Where this road goes next Don’t ask me Why I’m such a mess (I am a mess) If you’re in Don’t keep me out Don’t ask me Say it loud If you’re gone Say it now If you’re here Show me how Don’t ask me… You know I don’t know
