Don't Tell Me

Don't tell me you would go through hell for me,
Instead tell me that together, we will make it through.
Please don't say you will die for me,
Because I would be lonely without you.
Leave the words "I will never leave you" in your heart,
I don't want you to tell me, just don't leave.
Forget wanting to protect me from harm,
I can do that myself, just cheer me on.
Don' tell me how you will love me,
Surprise me with the intensity of it all.
