Story Behind The Song

Imaginary Love in a Broken World

Lyrics

Don't Tell Me: LYRICS Keith Michael Field - KMF Music

Verse

Waking Up alarmed at the harm I see ...Breaking my romance with the pharmacy
Nothing seems to change ...Getting a little strange

I'm waking to the wildest dreams ...Taking me to far ...Left a scar It seems
Somewhere in my past ...Must've been a blast

Don't be telling me it's not a good time
It's just a cover-up ...I ain't a clock that you wind
Making up excuses ...You're running out of juices

Chorus

You've given me hope ...When I'm broke and I'm down
At the end of my rope ...And I'm dangling down

I'm coming on top when there's no looking back
I'm not falling down and I'm higher than that

You've woken me up and it took me some time
I'm making it up and I'm drawing the line
Building me up and I ain't backing down

Hook

It's not emotion ...It's not a feeling ...You're the reason that I'm here
It's not emotion ...It's not a feeling ...You're the reason that I'm here

Verse

Don't you tell me what you think I want?
You think I'm printed on a menu at a restaurant
Ordinary food ...The more I over chewed

Don't be handing out your common sense
You're making up the problems ...Faking innocence
Stinking up the room ...Wearing your cheap perfume

Don't be telling me you understand ...It's what you try to make believe
It's something you planned
Nothing that you could do ...It's your karma coming through

Chorus

You've given me hope ...When I'm broke and I'm down
At the end of my rope ...And I'm dangling down

I'm coming on top when there's no looking back
I'm not falling down and I'm higher than that

You've woken me up and it took me some time
I'm making it up and I'm drawing the line
Building me up and I ain't backing down

Hook

It's not emotion ...It's not a feeling ...You're the reason that I'm here
It's not emotion ...It's not a feeling ...You're the reason that I'm here

Verse

Don't stand too close to me ...Getting up to dance and it's hard to see
Looking for a pearl ...An extraordinary girl

Doesn't really make a difference what you said
Somebody will twist it up before it's read

Someone in the fake news will cover up the clues
You're waiting for the chance ...Victim of a circumstance
Something you can stage ...Illicit public rage

Chorus

You've given me hope ...When I'm broke and I'm down
At the end of my rope ...And I'm dangling down

I'm coming on top when there's no looking back
I'm not falling down and I'm higher than that

You've woken me up and it took me some time
I'm making it up and I'm drawing the line
Building me up and I ain't backing down

Hook

It's not emotion ...It's not a feeling ...You're the reason that I'm here
It's not emotion ...It's not a feeling ...You're the reason that I'm here
