I don't want to hold the truth too tight
The grip squeezes and changes the meaning
It gets harder to make it make sense
If I let it go, it will be what it is and nothing more
The stars don't explain their glow
They twinkle and give us a show
I don't want to understand
Understanding breaks the spell
It's better not to know
Sometimes you have to wonder
You'd only lie anyway if I never understand
I'll never be sold your made-up story
I don't want to buy the lie tonight
The empty words lose their meaning
It gets wilder as it goes
If I let it go, it will be what it is and nothing more
I don't want to understand
Understanding breaks the spell
It's better not to know
Sometimes you have to wonder
You'd only lie anyway if I never understand
I'll never be sold your made-up story
Ignorance can be your friend
The friend that doesn't lie for you
The friend that doesn't hide the truth
The friend that doesn't want you dead
The friend that doesn't pretend to your face
I don't want to understand
Understanding breaks the spell
It's better not to know
Sometimes you have to wonder
You'd only lie anyway if I never understand
I'll never be sold your made-up story
