Wideawake – Don't Ask Don't Tell lyrics

I look into the mirror hoping something will be clearer but it's not, no it's not
Oh my heart is willing but the fear inside me is killing all i've got, it's all i've got
promises are broken, words are left unspoken, and my trust is like a castle in the sand
and i'm trying to understand it all

(chorus)
don't ask don't tell
don't ask don't tell
don't ask don't tell....just hide

back to the beginning am i losing am i winning in this game, it's all a game
chances that i'm taking and the choices that i'm making are the same, there all the same
but promises get broken, words are left unspoken, and my trust is like a castle in the sand
and I'm trying to understand it all

(chorus)
don't ask don't tell.....just hide

honesty unwanted leaves me cold and now i'm haunted by the part of me that's left in the unknown
i'm running from the violence to the secret and the silence
my quiet desperation finds a home, but, why must i hide?
my fear now has become my prison cell

(chorus)
don't ask don't tell.....just hide

just hide
just hide
just hide

why, why, why

oh, I won't lie no more

(chorus)
don't ask don't tell....just lie
