Don't Stop

Oh, I'm tired
I'm tired of all this introspection
Each day being led by committee direction
Just seems somehow all of my friends found the answers
Well, they're falling
I know it's all I can do to stop calling them

And oh, you're tough
Your confidence is made by ten more
I can't hide and I never seem to learn all my lessons
I can't look 'cause your eyes burn a hole straight through me
And that's on me
I know, 'cause all of my secrets are spread about town

And if I start to tell you I'm not as clued up as I'd like
Just stop, just stop, just stop me
If I let slip, there's something I'm trying to hide
Just stop, just stop, just stop me
'Cause the lifestyle where I'm constantly living a lie
Has to be preferable to showing my hand

Oh, I'm lost
I'm lost inside a flipping vortex
Spiral down, watching everyone else moving forwards
And yeah, yeah, you're a fragment of hope
But your faith don't take hold
I know it's like ladders and snakes, but there's only snakes

And if I start to tell you that maybe I don't feel like dancing
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop me
If I let slip, yeah, maybe there's someone I'm fancying
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop me
'Cause the lifestyle where I'm constantly showing my hand
Has to be preferable to living a lie

I went on trial at my instigation
Submitted my files to investigation
I caught your eye in a conversation
It might be love and I might be mistaken
I took advice and I made a statement
A party line of my own creation
You're a helping hand, I'm appreciation
It might be love and I might be mistaken

And if I start to tell you I'm not as clued up as I'd like
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop me
If I let slip, there's something I'm trying to hide
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop me
If I tell you that maybe I don't feel like dancing
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop me
If I let slip, yeah, maybe there's someone I'm fancying
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop me
'Cause the lifestyle where I'm constantly showing my hand
Has to be preferable to living a lie
