Leftmore - Don't You Go Lyrics

I met a man old as the Sun
With words as wise and bright as one
He told me to take a walk with him
And, so I left with skeptic steps
Bating my thoughts and cynic's breaths
I didn't know quite what to expect
But when I paused, that's when he spoke
"Your heart's been broken, that's no joke
But hear me out, then just wait and see"
So I humored him and listened well
Words from his lips so cautious fell
"There is a girl you'll love before you leave

Don't you go telling everyone that you're in love!
Well, don't you know that's the best way to get caught?

My heart, it jumped into my throat
I didn't know how he could know
Something that he had never seen
He carried on for not too long
My eyes grew wide, I sang this song
And returned to the place I was before
Where I met a girl within her eyes
Just as the old man prophesized
My anxious anchor sank into my knees
So, I sat down to catch my breath
And stop the shaking in my legs
She came and knelt, and whispered in my ear

"Don't you go telling everyone that I'm your love!
Don't you know I heard every word on your walk?"

She said, "You can't take his advice
And be happy until you die
That may be a life, but it is not life to me
First, you're born and then you're gone
A second chance may never come
I can't love someone afraid of loving me"
And, as she got up to walk away
I raised to my voice so I could say
"You heard the old man right, but I'm not him
He told me not to tell anyone
But I'm telling everyone
From my soapbox sleeve sewn of my fatal flaws

So don't you go, I've been waiting for my love to come
Don't you know I've been waiting to get caught?
Don't you go, I've been waiting for your love to come
Don't you know I've been telling everyone?

I've been telling everyone"
