[Intro]
(Soft, melancholic piano)
[Verse 1]
I remember it so well,
When you were wounded, tearful, and had nowhere to go.
I held you until your sobbing finally ceased.
I wiped away the tears and the sting upon your lips.
I told you, “I am just here,”
Ready to rebuild your shattered world.
[Chorus]
Could you please not...
Don't do to me what he did to you before...
When he hurt you so deeply and I became your refuge...
I was the one who cared and truly loved you...
Into you, I poured all my love and everything I owned...
All I ask is please don't... don't, if only it’s possible...
[Verse 2]
Now that you are whole and able to smile again,
Why does it feel like I am the one being set aside?
What was once warm, why has it suddenly grown cold?
Has the meaning of my love simply vanished?
The pain you endured, please don't let the person
Who gave you new hope experience it too...
[Bridge]
Didn’t you swear that you wouldn’t be like them?
You know the pain and sting of a heart wounded and left behind.
I fixed you; please don't make me suffer...
The pain is so intense, please, can we fix this?
For mercy’s sake...
[Chorus]
Could you please not...
Don't do to me what he did to you before...
When he hurt you so deeply and I became your refuge...
I was the one who cared and truly loved you...
Into you, I poured all my love and everything I owned...
All I ask is please don't... don't, if only it’s possible...
[Outro]
[Chorus]
Could you please not...
Don't do to me what he did to you before...
When he hurt you so deeply and I became your refuge...
I was the one who cared and truly loved you...
Into you, I poured all my love and everything I owned...
All I ask is please don't... don't, if only it’s possible...(**)
If only it’s possible...
Just don’t do it to me.
Don’t... don’t, if only it’s possible...
