Dont Follow Me Lyrics - Fates Warning

Through another late night confession 

Told to a captive audience 

And YOU listen with your ear to the door 

Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall 

Like open secrets overheard 

Through the cracks in the wall 

With calculated candor YOU play the part 

Of a trusted confidant 

Moving closer for a better view 

Looking for more than eyes can see 

On the tattered pages 

Of an open diary 

If YOU want to know 

Just what I see 

Look at yourself 

And don't ask me 

And if YOU want to know 

Where we're going 

Keep your distance 

And don't follow me 

Like an old friend with nothing left to say 

You'll find I'm not who YOU thought I'd be 

As YOU contemplate the silence 

Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall 

From the still uncertain heart 

That beats behind the wall 

If you want to know 

Just what I see 

Look at yourself 

And don't ask me 

And if YOU want to know 

Where we're going 

Keep your distance 

And don't follow me 

If you want to know 

Just what I see 

Look at yourself 

And don't ask me 

And if YOU want to know 

Where we're going 

Keep your distance 

And don't follow me 

If you want to know 

Just what I see 

Look at yourself 

And don't follow me
