Please Refrain Lyrics by Anna Gordon

Fern Canyon

2018

Late last night you came a-knockin’
On my bedroom door
Told me that you‘d spent time thinkin’
About what we were before
Admitted to your dumb mistakes
Said "i will do whatever it takes"
And i just stood there, eyes all wide
Contemplating letting you inside

You said
"all i know is that i've got no place to go
And i'm stuck out in the cold"

I said "i don't know. no i don't know
If i should believe it
Just cause you told me so"
Cause i have felt the painful sting
Of love and loss and other things
But lately i've been feeling numb
Cause i have chosen to play dumb
To love and loss and other things
Got them all wrapped up in the reins
And they won't bother me no more
Cause i have closed and locked my door

Late last night while you were talkin’
On the threshold of my home
You told me you were growing tired
Of feeling so alone
Asked if we could just be friends
Or even if we could just pretend
And i just stood there, eyes all wide
Said, "honey, that's what i have tried
And tried and tried and tried and tried to do
But back then it depended all on you
And you ignored me
Like you always seem to do"


You said
"all i know is that i've got no place to go
And i'm stuck out in the cold"

I said "i don't know. no i don't know
If i should take you back
Just cause you're all alone"
Cause i have felt the painful sting
Of love and loss and other things
But lately i've been feeling numb
Cause i have chosen to play dumb
To love and loss and other things
Got them all wrapped up in the reins
And they won't bother me no more
Cause i have closed and locked my door
Yes, i have felt the painful sting
Of love and loss and other things
Stop appealing to my sympathies
No, i am not the one you need

You said
"all i know is that i've got no place to go
And i'm stuck out in the cold"
Well you should have thought of that before
You chose to walk right out my door
But it was golden summer then
The golden sun, it graced your skin
Bet you felt wild and free
The minute you were leaving me
You thought you would be immune
To winter's frozen afternoons
Or that easily you could outgrow
The cold, the ice, the sleet, the snow
And pretend it was all a golden glow
But you can’t do that, honey, i should know

Please don't come around my door
Please refrain from knockin’ more
You'll find another place to go
But it's not here, you oughta know
