I Want To Ask You (But I Won't) Lyrics

Your sister sent me a picture of her kids today

And I don't know what I should say

Did you forget to tell her that we're through?

How's your mom?

Did she make ever make it to the pyramids?

I'm sorry if you hate hearing this, but

I can't help it, when my heart is on the loose

Did your nephew start walking on his own?

Did you decide it's time to move back home?

Cause you and me and this city are just not right for you?

I wanna ask you but I won't

I don't want to be unfair

I know I ended it so I won't take it there

But I keep my finger on the trigger of my phone

Cause I still care

And I can't help but wonder

If your world is still in color

While mine is now dark and gray and cold

I wanna ask you but I won't

I wanna ask you but I don't

Do you still go to Hollywood lake park,

With your picnic blanket til the dark?

And watch the sun set over

The city that once was ours

I'm dying to know, have you met somebody new?

Does he take care of you?

Does he give you everything

I wasn't able to?

I wanna ask you but I won't

I don't wanna be unfair

I know I ended it so I won't take it there

But I keep my finger on the trigger of my phone

Cause I still care

And I can't help but wonder

If your world is still in summer

While mine is now dark and gray and cold

I wanna ask you but I won't

I wanna ask you but I don't

So I interrogate our friends

In casual conversation

Asking them again

If they know how your day's been

They stay outta the middle

But I just need a little

To keep me from the edge

I'll respect your space

I'll respect your wishes

You don't wanna see me

And trust me I get it

So I'll shout into the void all alone

But your echoes follow everywhere I go

And maybe one day you'll answer back

And then I'll know

I wanna ask you but I won't

I don't wanna be unfair

I know I ended it so I won't take it there

But I keep my finger on the trigger of my phone

Cause I still care

And I can't help but wonder

If you've found another

While I am out here on my own

I wanna ask you but I won't

I wanna ask you but I don't
