Don’t feel the pain

Don’t let yourself complain

Don’t acknowledge those feelings

Don’t let yourself be caught kneeling

Don’t scream out in pain

Don’t let your tears leave a stain

Don’t put your hand out

Don’t let them see you with a pout

Don’t respond to their helping hand

Don’t ever believe that they’ll understand

Don’t get sucked into their affection

Don’t let them forget your rejection

Don’t think twice about pulling the trigger

Don’t wonder if there’ll ever be anything bigger

Don’t worry about your loved one

Don’t anticipate the birth of your unborn son

Don’t believe that you were ever a gem

… All you were was everything to them
