lyrics

A man can only take so many broken dreams
But darling you know that broken makes me, me
Look upon me now, I'm not the same anymore
The lines on this face are carved by those that I adore

On my knees
Begging the Lord
Begging please
To tell me why
He says

Don't ask if you don't want to know
Don't ask if you don't want to know
Don't ask if you don't want to know

Palomino or El Camino this ghost keeps up either way
I see him in every mirror but I don't recognize his ways
That's the thing about time they never tell you
In a blur it walks by but head on it's so cruel

In your eyes
Trying to find
Some kind of sign
Tell me what do you hide
You say

Don't ask if you don't want to know
Don't ask if you don't want to know
Don't ask if you don't want to know

I've been keeping low
Crying with my dad, watching late night shows
I've spent every night
Cutting up each thought with a knife
I guess I don't mind
Not knowing my truths from my lies
If the world's on a string
Or if it's burning down and no one wants to be
The first
The first
The first one to leave

I don't want I don't want to know
I don't want I don't want to know
I don't want I don't want to know
