"Don't Ask" lyrics

"Don't Ask"

Mm, have I fooled you?
Do I even want to?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

When you ask me how I've been
I do my best to be convincing
But a part of me is hoping that a part of you still knows me well enough
To notice the change in my tone
Yet you don't, no

You don't ask, so I won't tell
I keep this one to myself tonight
Maybe I'll be fine, maybe I'ma liar
No, you don't wanna hear it

Oh God forgive me
I'm wearing thin
Tryna keep this together
Though I know its for the better

I'd hate to kill the mood
Hate to be the bearer of bad news
So I'll keep it to myself tonight
That's the kindest thing that I can do for you, baby
Don't you see?
You want the truth, better ask again
Fool me once, fool me twice
Saving face with a smile

Who am I to deny them what they came for?
To be entertained, talk about good things
I won't make a detour, because what would I say?
"I'm tryna save face"
"Lifes a movie but it feels like I'm reaching the ending"
No, you don't wanna hear that, no

You don't ask, so I won't tell
I keep this one to myself tonight
Maybe I'll be fine, maybe I'm a liar
No, they don't wanna hear it

Oh God forgive me
I'm wearing thin
Tryna keep this together
Though I know it's for the better

Maybe I'll be fine, maybe I'm a liar
Maybe I'll be fine, maybe I'm a liar
Maybe I'll be fine, maybe I'm a liar
Maybe I'll be fine, maybe I'm a liar
Though I know it's for the better
