Laying in silence
You were a diamond, bright, yeah
And touching my fingertips
Melting into the night, oh
Secrets are locked up
Prison's all in your mind
Kisses fall off her lips
Kisses that should've been mine, yeah
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
What you've done, what you've done
What you've done, what you've done
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Why you left, why you left
Why you left
I know I'm losing you, so come on, tell the truth
Don't you tell me you're sorry, don't pretend you're stormy
'Cause I don't wanna know, I already know
What you've done, what you've done
What you've done, what you've done, ooh, ooh
What you've done, what you've done
What you've done, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fighting the tears back
Fighting to make you stay
Screaming at angels
Holding a wall in my brain, ah
Secrets are locked up
Prison's all in your heart, yeah
Kisses fall on her lips
Memories left behind
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
What you've done, what you've done
What you've done, what you've done
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Why you left, why you left
Why you left
I know I'm losing you, so come on, tell the truth
Don't you tell me you're sorry, don't pretend you're stormy
'Cause I don't wanna know, I already know
What you've done, what you've done
What you've done, what you've done, ooh, ooh
What you've done, what you've done
What you've done, ooh, ooh, ooh
