Donovan Woods
I Won’t Mention It Again
[Verse 1]
I was seven years old when
We drew maps of a fire escape from our houses in school
It's unlikely we'll use them
But I worked on the God damned thing so hard 'cause I knew

[Chorus]
And you sigh like it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen
I'll crawl into bed
Be asleep or pretend you are
I won't mention it again

[Verse 2]
When we walk through the garden
And you name every plant in that scientist language you know
I guess I'm finding it hard whеn
It's the birds and the bees and the conifеrous trees and you figure we're just getting old, no

[Chorus]
Lord, it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy nobody cares about, amen
I'll crawl into bed
Be asleep or pretend you are
I won't mention it again

[Post-Chorus]
I won't mention it again

[Bridge]
I won't mention it again, like it's all the love we ever had
Again like you swore it on the Bible
And it's, "Oh, it's just a drink you shoulda never had"
Or it's, "Oh, it's up to me to stoop to asking", and you'll try, aye

[Chorus]
Lord, it's only a moment of silence
For a tragedy I only care about, amen
I'll crawl into bed
Be asleep or pretend you are
I won't mention it again

[Post-Chorus]
I won't mention it again
