I Don't Want To

You went and turned a red flag white
Darling, and you waved it
You always had a way with words
Why can't you explain it then?
I see your face in everyone, baby, and I hate it
Who would have ever thought I'd had to erase it?
Every little thing is reminding me of you
Yes, I'll set fire to my whole room (ah, ah, ah)
I don't want to let it show but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night and I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
I double take at every phone that rings out of habit
I can't shake the little things, they're harder to manage, woah
I can't burry the past, but I'll burry the hatchet
Can we just pretend that this never happened?
And every little thing is reminding me of you
Guess I'll set fire to my whole room (ah, ah, ah)
I don't want to let it show but still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
And I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
So what are you doing tonight?
'Cause I miss you and I
And I can't even lie I need you
I could get on a flight, I could make up the time
I know I'm out of line
Can I see you?
I don't want to let it show but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
And I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
Baby how do I let you go if I don't want to?
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
