I look into the mirror
Hoping something will be clearer
But it's not, no it's not
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
My trust is like a castle in the sand
I'm trying to understand it all
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, they're all the same
Promises keep broken
Words are left unspoken
My trust is like a castle in the sand
I'm trying to understand it all
Don't ask, don't tell
Don't ask, don't tell
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
Why must I hide?
My fear now has become my prison cell
Don't ask, don't tell
Don't ask, don't tell
Don't ask, don't tell
Don't ask, don't tell
Just hide
Just hide
Just hide
For a while
I won't lie no more
Don't ask, don't tell
Don't ask, don't tell
Don't ask, don't tell
Just lie
