lyrics

Please, don't ask me where I've been
No matter what I say you win an opportunity to shout
To trash the kitchen and lash out
At everything I say and do
What could be good enough for you
I really don't get why you stay
When you're already on your way

(Don't wanna have to say goodbye)
Don't wake me up when you go home
(Don't wanna know the reason why)
Don't say a word, just walk on home)
(Don't wanna have to even try)
Don't make a scene, you're on your own
(Don't wanna have to flat out lie)
I just want to be alone

Please, don't tell me where you've slept
I lay awake all night and wept
I know that mask, I know that face
Where all emotion's been erased
We've been through all of this before
And I don't want it anymore
I'm sure you've other things to do
And other places to go to

(Don't wanna have to say goodbye)
Don't wake me up when you go home
(Don't wanna know the reason why)
Don't say a word, just walk on home)
(Don't wanna have to even try)
Don't make a scene, you're on your own
(Don't wanna have to flat out lie)
I just want to be alone

Don't stand there in the doorway
And say what's on my mind
You've never known my kind
I know you're into foreplay
But have a cigarette, 'cause that's all that you'll get
There's nothing left here to collect

(Don't wanna have to say goodbye)
Don't wake me up when you go home
(Don't wanna know the reason why)
Don't say a word, just walk on home)
(Don't wanna have to even try)
Don't make a scene, you're on your own
(Don't wanna have to flat out lie)
I just want to be alone
