Fates Warning Dont Follow Me <4:42> Lyrics

Dont Follow Me <4:42> Lyrics

another late night confession

 told to a captive audience

 and YOU listen with your ear to the door

 waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall

 like open secrets overheard

 through the cracks in the wall

 

 with calculated candor YOU play the part

 of a trusted confidant

 moving closer for a better view

 looking for more than eyes can see

 on the tattered pages

 of an open diary

 

 if YOU want to know

 just what I see

 look at yourself

 and dont ask me

 and if YOU want to know

 where were going

 keep your distance

 and dont follow me

 

 like an old friend with nothing left to say

 youll find im not who YOU though id be

 as YOU contemplate the silence

 waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall

 from the sill uncertain heart

 that beats behind the wall

 

 if YOU want to know 

 just what I see

 look at yourself

 and dont ask me

 and if YOU want to know 

 where were going

 keep your distance

 and dont follow me
