"I Know" lyrics

"I Know"

Don't tell me you're going away
I know
And don't say what you're going to say
I know

Don't expect me to cry
Don't even say goodbye
And don't say life's like that you know
I know

And don't tell me I'm just a kid
I know
And how you loved the things we did
I know

Don't say that it's a shame
And that life's just a game
Just pack your case
And turn your face
And go

For I am not the same when you're not with me
Take away the bank and I will flow

And don't tell me that flowers must die
I know
And that the cup runs dry sometimes
I know

But I have drunk my fill
And quite fulfilled my will
And now there's nothing left to spill
Or show

Oh darling, I am not the same without you
You just light the fuse and I will blow

All you have to do my love
Is go
