"Please Don't Ask" original song by Kari Fleskes
KariFleskes
Looking through a dirty window at your apartment view,
I feel your eyes on me.
I remember all those different shades of blue--
but your eyes are green.
Trying to make something out of why I left,
this isn't who I am.
I guess there's no explaining me;
But there's a part you just can't have.
(Chorus:)
I belong back home
in the arms of the only one I've ever loved.
Though, I'll confess, there's nothing left.
But that's one thing I'm not ready to lose,
So, please, don't ask me to.
I can't find myself;
Yet, you say I'm like nobody you've ever met.
Imagine that.
Sometimes it gets too hard, but it's all pretend.
Pulling at a ripping seam.
Baby, this just isn't me,
and your eyes aren't his.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge:)
I've been fighting to let it go;
But I still taste the words I never said--
My god, how I tried to say.
Was it too much or not enough?
I keep turning the pages but the chapter won't change.
Getting nothing out of something,
Oh, imagine that.
I gave my heart and paid the price
but I never got it back.
This life was never my wish.
There's a part of me I just can't give.
(Repeat Chorus)
Looking through a dirty window at your apartment view,
I feel your eyes on me.
