Lyrics

Don?t Ask ( This Old Town)

Music and Lyrics By Peggy Mann

Don?t ask me how I?ve been
Don?t ask me how I?m doing
It?s better if we just don?t talk at all
Don?t ask me how I feel
And don?t ask me if I?ve healed
I really wish that you just wouldn?t call

It?s so hard to get over you
When you?re always around
It may be time to leave, this old town

Don?t ask me to reminisce
Don?t ask me to do this
Don?t ask me to go down that road
Don?t ask me remember when
Don?t ask me to be friends
Don?t ask me to forgive it all

It?s so hard to get over you,
When you?re always around
It may be time to leave this old town

Cause this old town has memories
This old town is you and me
And this old town won?t let me be alone? on my own

So let me tell you how it is
I need to move away from this
Even if it?s only in my mind
Well I don?t have to go that far
But I just need to make a start
I never thought I?d have you leave my heart


But it?s so hard to get over you,
When you?re always around
It may be time to leave
This old town, this old town
This old town, this old town
