"Don't Tell" lyrics

If I was made for more, don't tell the liquor store
If I'm built to last, don't tell this empty glass
If I'm built from pain, don't tell this hurricane
If I'm built for love, don't tell this double cup

I keep pouring myself
Into things that don't love me back

If I'm hard to save, don't tell this early grave
If I can't find rest, don't tell these cigarettes
If I can't stay clean, don't tell this nicotine
If I can't slow down, don't tell this hometown

Don't tell the door that I've been standing and knocking
Out for so long that I might come through the window
If the door is closing soon, don't tell this open wound
Tell a metal rose, a pocketful of poses

If I was made for more, don't tell the liquor store
If I'm built to last, don't tell this empty glass
If I'm built from pain, don't tell this hurricane
If I'm built for love, don't tell this double cup

I keep pouring myself
Into things that don't love me back

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Sometimes
