Don't Follow Me Lyrics

Through another late night confession
Told to a captive audience
You listen with your ear to the door
Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fallLike open secrets overheard
Through the cracks in the wallCalculated candor you play the part
Of a trusted confidant
Moving closer for a better view
Looking for more than eyes can seeOn the tattered pages
Of an open diaryIf you want to know just what I see
Look at yourself don't ask me
And if you want to know where we're going
Keep your distance and don't follow meLike an old friend with nothing left to say
You'll find I'm not who you thought I'd be
As you contemplate the silence
Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fallFrom the still uncertain heart
That beats behind the wallIf you want to know just what I see
Look at yourself don't ask me
And if you want to know where we're going

Keep your distance and don't follow meIf you want to know just what I see
Look at yourself don't ask me
And if you want to know where we're going
Keep your distance and don't follow meIf you want to know just what I see
Look at yourself don't follow me
