Don't Take My Heart
Don't fake your feelings,
If you know they aren't there,
Don't pretend you love me
When you really don't care.
Don't take my heart,
If you intend on giving it away,
If you want to leave,
Don't tell me you'll stay.
Don't hold my hand,
If you're going to let go,
Don't pretend to understand,
If you don't really know.
If you only want to finish,
Don't ask me to start,
If you don't really love me
Don't take my heart.
