Don't Go


I left out of the room this morning
with a voice behind me, "don't go"
I had smoked a joint and was too deep
in thought to think, to know

that this was wrong or right
or somewhere in between
couldn't love him then or later
the lying there was unforeseen.

And I warned him about lying to me
but he did it anyway
maybe I'm not as forgiving as I thought
I would never lie, never betray

the trust I thought he gave
but he admitted to having me followed around
to see where I would go
and if what I did would let him down

I wasn't the one who lied
he knew me from the start
nothing at all to hide
I gave him all my heart

but he didn't want to know
I left out of the room
the fading voice behind
"don't go".
