about

Did you ever feel too shy to confess your feelings for somebody else? "Don't tell me if it hurts" captures this struggle. This song starts little and gets very big.

lyrics

Should I tell you how I feel?
Or keep this fantasy going?
Should I believe that we‘re in love
Live in the never knowing?

Does your heart skip a beat?
Do you think of someone else?
Am I too young to be your man
Too soon for wedding bells?

Don‘t tell me if it hurts
Don‘t tell me if it‘s true
Don‘t tell me anything
Unless you love me

If it hurts
Don‘t tell me if it‘s true
Don‘t tell me anything
Unless you want it too

I crave the smile on your lips
When I am cracking a joke
I love you looking at my way
Even when you won‘t no

I feel that giggle in my chest
When words caught up in my throat
I think you see me as a friend
I pray to God that you don‘t

Don‘t tell me if it hurts
Don‘t tell me if it‘s true
Don‘t tell me anything
Unless you love me

If it hurts
Don‘t tell me if it‘s true
Don‘t tell me anything
Unless you want it too

I‘m under a spell
I cast upon myself
I want flesh and blood
And no imagination
The only way to escape
Is to risk it all

Don‘t tell me if it hurts
Don‘t tell me if it‘s true
Don‘t tell me anything
Unless you love me

If it hurts
Don‘t tell me if it‘s true
Don‘t tell me anything
Unless you want it too

(Don‘t tell me if it hurts)
(No no, no no)
(Don‘t tell me if it hurts)
(No no, no no no)
