[Verse 1]
Don’t ask me, I won’t tell you, I’m a silent devotee
I’m mute cause my words pollute and I’m scared that you will breathe me
Don’t ask me how I’m doing, the knots aren’t worth undoing
I hang tough for a little bit of love and a happiness that will be, yeah
[Chorus]
Don’t tell them anything, don’t tell them anything
[Verse 2]
I couldn’t talk, I was a burden from the start, didn’t speak and I had my reasons
Every word that parts is a knife in my heart, every syllable leaves me bleeding
Don’t ask me how I’m hanging, the vines aren’t worth untangling
I couldn’t share where the monsters stare or the pain that they are breeding, yeah
[Chorus]
Don’t tell them anything, don’t tell them anything
Don’t tell them anything
[Bridge]
I can’t talk myself from the basement I made
So, leave me shallow under here
I can’t speak myself out of this one
[Chorus]
Don’t tell them anything, don’t tell them anything
Don’t tell them anything, don’t tell them anything
You gave me everything, so genuinely meaning
I can’t say anything, I can’t say anything yet
