Don't
Elton John George Michael Lyrics

I can't light no more of your darkness
I can't continue to ignore the dark and troubled parts of your life

All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
My memories of us lose their vibrancy and joy

I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
I feel drained and helpless as time passes slowly

Frozen here on the ladder of my life
I'm stuck in a rut, unable to move forward or progress

It's much too late to save myself from falling
I've already made too many mistakes to avoid the consequences

I took a chance and changed your way of life
I deliberately altered the course of our lives together

But you misread my meaning when I met you
You misunderstood my intentions and what I was trying to convey when we first met

Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
You shut me out and left me feeling confused and disorientated

Don't let the sun go down on me
Please don't let this relationship end in darkness and despair

Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I can't seem to find my true self in this relationship, only reflections of others

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh
I'm willing to let you have some space and independence

But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Losing everything is as devastating as the end of a day, when the sun sets

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
I struggle to express my love in the perfect, idealized way

But see me once and see the way I feel
If you look past my inability to communicate, you'll see my true emotions

Don't discard me, baby don't
Please don't give up on me or our relationship

Just because you think I mean, you harm
Don't assume I have malicious intentions towards you

But these cuts I have (cuts I have) they need love (they need love, they need love) to help them heal
My emotional wounds require love and compassion to heal properly

'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me
The end of this relationship would leave me feeling as though my world is ending

Although I search myself, it's always someone else that I see, yeah
Even when I try to find myself, I see only reflections of others

I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh
I'm willing to give you space and independence, while still remaining together

'Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me
The end of this relationship would leave me feeling as though my world is ending
