I don't want to love you, please stand back
I have seen your cinders burning black
Don't tell me, sweet baby
Don't tell me -- I can't bear to know
The moth flies to the candle burning bright
All that's left are ashes in the night
Don't tell me, sweet baby
Don't tell me -- I can't bear to know
Please
I have seen the way you look at me
Laser eyes
I don't know
I don't know
A little flower burning in the snow
Saw your footsteps coming long ago
Don't tell me, sweet baby
Don't tell me -- I can't bear to know
Please
I have seen the way you look at me
Laser eyes
I don't know
I don't know
But I don't want to love you, please stand back
I have seen your cinders burning black
Don't tell me, sweet baby
Don't tell me -- I can't bear to know
I can't bear to know
Sweet baby
