Please don't touch me I 've felt warm hands before And I know it's so damn cold When they let go And don't tell me promises I've heard them all before And I know a promise is a young lie Waiting to grow old Please don't sing to me I've heard your songs before And I know how quiet it gets in here When you end the show So don't teach me your songs 'Cause I've sung another's for a long, long time And when she left me I couldn't remember mine Don't bend, just break Don't give, just take My pain and your tears What a team we make Please don't smile at me 'Cause I've seen smiles before And I might just walk out Before those teeth have a chance to bite And don't you come around 'Cause I've waited around before And I believe that I'll close the door So you don't bother coming in just to leave Don't bend, just break Don't give, just take My pain and your tears What a team we make Don't say you love me Yes I'd burn in your summer love But I know that I'll freeze When it begins to snow Don't bend, just break Don't give, just take My pain and your tears What a team we make
