You don't wanna turn away this time
Then why don't you take a different line
Don't have to be cruel to be kind
You don't have to lose your mind
You don't wanna suffer for your art
You don't wanna vivisect your heart
And then if you're falling apart
You're probably trying too hard
In the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
You don't wanna say what you don't mean
You still want to paint a figure scene
You hide in the wings with a lamp
And cast the shadows on a screen
You don't wanna sing what you can say
Well that's quite a hard game to play
You wanna just say a cliche
But where there's a will there's a way
But in the dawning light I found you breathless
But I won't deny I love you helpless
