Please Don't

Jolie Holland


The twelfth day of never came faster than ever 
For the likes of you and I 
I used to adore you but now I implore you 
To quietly pass me by 

It's unseemly how I hate myself 
I don't want anyone to see 
Least of all someone like you 
Who knows so much about me 

Oh please don't tell 'em what you know about me 

I can never be beholded to you 
Our affairs are our own 
Most of all for someone like me 
Who is always alone 

Oh please don't tell 'em what you know about me
