"I Don't Wanna"

Copyright 2012, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

I DON'T WANNA share tommorrow;

I DON'T WANNA bear another sorrow;

I DON'T WANNA say it's over, but I can't lie;  (It's over, baby);

Maybe we should find a reason;

Mayube you can say that I'm not pleasin';

But leavin's in the air, and leavin' makes me cry;

And I DON'T WANNA have to be the one to say goodbye.

 

Yesterday our love was speeding;

Didn't think it would be needing feeding;

So we stood and watched it fade before our eyes;  (It's faded, baby);

Guess we gotta talk about it;

Guess we're gonna have to live without it;

We've become a tangled knot that won't untie;

And I DON'T WANNA have to be the one to say goodbye.

 

Do we have to keep pretending?

Mustn't be afraid of ending it;

There isn't any hope of mending it;

So let's stop here, without a tear.

 

I DON'T WANNA pick up pieces;

I DON'T WANNA sign no long-term leases;

Time to let it go, we've passed the time to try;

Tell me that you understand me;

Tell me we can fall apart and land free;

Tell me what you want, just look me in the eye.

'Cause I DON'T WANNA have to be the one to say goodbye.

 

Do we have to keep defending it?

So let's stop here, I can't take tears.

 

I DON'T WANNA start explaining;

Nevermind the smiles; inside it's raining;

I've seen it in your eyes, your heart, your hands, your sighs; (It's raining, baby)

You've been there before to cheer me;

Long ago you swore to hold and hear me;

Now everything is done, just help me one last time;

'Cause I DON'T WANNA have to be the one to say good..

I DON'T WANNA have to be the one to say good..

I DON'T WANNA have to be the one to say goodbye.
