Tell you what...

I do not tell you what to believe in

I do not tell you what you should be

I do not tell you who you should love

So please don’t tell me

I do not ask you to lie to me

I do not ask you to die for me

I do not ask you to change for me

So please don’t ask me

He cannot pretend, she cannot defend

Trust in me and I will be your friend,

But deny me, I’ll make no apology

I do not want you to believe in me

I do not want you to be unhappy

I do not want you to be denied

So please don’t make me

I do not need your sympathy

I do not need to be defined

I do not need nobody’s help

So please don’t “cure” me
