Why don't you admit it
Why don't you tell me true
I know it's not my problem
Try telling that to you
I'd like to help you
If you'd let me in
You think you've got to hide it
You're ashamed to be human
You see each one of your faults
But not in you
Such stupid bullshit
What's wrong with you

I don't want to know
Why won't you go
Leave me alone

You keep me out of your shell
You think you're safe in there
But you're so damn clueless
So self-unaware
I wonder if you're always
So sterilized
Or if there's really a soul
Hiding behind your eyes
All I want is peace
But you don't care
You like to stir things up
Which I can't seem to bear
I can't believe you got
To me like this
Can't get you outta my head
This obsession's pointless
Echoes in my mind
I can't take this anymore

I don't want to know
Why won't you go
Leave me alone

Now my heart is breaking
When I think of you
I see a mirror image
The shadows in me too
Should I feel for you
Or should I shut you out
Would that be the high road
I think I'm having my doubts
I want to write you off
Not waste my time no more
I want to cut my losses
I'm one foot out the door
But I don't want my friends
Giving up on me
So I keep on trying
I just can't let it be
It's like an endless circle
When is enough enough

I don't want to know
Why won't you go
Leave me alone
