Lyrics
I DON?T WANNA KNOW
© 2003 Words and Music by: Chris Bennett
Last night you said goodbye I felt my world go crashing down again
Crashing down again
Like an empty glass you drank too fast you left me bleeding on the floor
You say I talk too much I?m losing touch
And I don?t know you any more
If were out of time it?s such a crime
Your gonna close the door
And I thought you cared if this is caring baby I don?t wanna know
CHORUS
I don?t wanna know why I feel this way
I don?t wanna hear the things you have to say
I don?t wanna know why the grass still grows
I don?t wanna know why the rivers still flow
The only thing I want to know
Is when you?re coming home
There?s an emptiness it?s meaningless to make believe that I don?t care
Cause when I close my eyes I hear your sighs
I touch your face and feel your hair
and every breath I take only makes me wanna see you again
and if you?re not coming back
I don?t wanna know
CHORUS
CHORUS
Last night you said goodbye I felt my world go crashing down again
Crashing down again
