Darling, Don't

Adam Kamerer

Darling, don't say that you love me,
Because you're lying behind your eyes,
So I'll trust your touch instead,
So I'll trust your tongue instead,
And let your morphine kisses
Carry me into sleep tonight.

Darling, don't whisper quite so softly,
Your words are empty enough tonight,
So I'll trust your lips instead,
So I'll trust your lies instead,
And smile when you say you're mine,
Because we both know the truth.

Darling, don't steal my words tonight,
They're scarce enough as is,
So trust my heart instead,
So trust my hands instead,
And smile because they're more sincere
Than anything you've ever touched.
