Jamie Carroll: Listen to the music

I don't wanna know

(Jamie Carroll)
2006

All of us fight to know as much as possible, but sometimes we find out that the truth hurts as well as sets us free. This song has several influences. Some were true and some were re-worked while I was in Nashville to give it a more "marketable" sound which I don't completely agree with. Although this is certainly one of my favorite songs recorded to date I still liked the original lyrics and demo better. This one is still amazing and I am thankful for all the great musicians who helped me bring it to life.


Cold and alone without your fire
lost and confused, weak and tired
since you've been locked inside that tower and i'm not allowed to save you
don't wanna live with all this pain
without you here i'm not the same
it doesn't have to be this way
and there are things we should never say like
I don't wanna know if you laid with him
if he touched your skin
baby where you been?
I don't wanna know
if he held you close
even if it was a sin
I don't wanna know
you're like the ink that's on my skin
you're my beginning
you'll be my end
you might cry and scream and shout
whatever it takes for us to work it out
but, I don't wanna know
if you laid with him
if he touched your skin
baby where you been?
I don't wanna know
if he held you close
even if it was a sin...
I have so much more to give
I wanna love i wanna live
baby share your life with me
But, I don't wanna know...
