Please don't speak, listen to what I'm saying In my arms, I've thought of weighing Good times on the right and bad times on the other As the night grew old and day was near My heart grew cold, I shed no tears Bad times outweighed the good It was time to find another Don't make excuses, don't give explanations For this pain you cause with much intention Why don't you go away, let me be? Just when I thought I knew you, thought that all was right I take the time to look into your eyes and there I'd see How could you have overlooked a love so true? And yet you took my heart placed in your hands Like on a silver platter All those lonely nights no longer matter Life, it seems, is so much sadder When all love has died and all your dreams are shattered (Don't make excuses) Don't make excuses, don't give explanations [?] For this pain you cause with much intention Why don't you go away and let me be? (Go away and let me be) Just when I thought I knew you, thought that all was right (Just when I knew) I take the time to look into your eyes and there I'd see No more tears, the pain is finally over Such long years and we're much older Time keeps passing by and you are just o memory But even though you're gone I feel your presence How I long to teach a lesson To all fools like you, my heart has grown much colder (Don't make excuses) Don't make excuses, don't give explanations [?] For this pain you cause with much intention Why don't you go away and let me be? (Go away and let me be) Just when I thought I knew you, thought that all was right (Just when I knew) I take the time to look into your eyes and there I'd see The guilt in your eyes and it was all because of me
