about

Please don't let me love you, just because I'm feelin' blue
And please don't let me kiss you because I know you'll be untrue

Because you're sweet dear, I want to love you, please stay away from my heart
And please don't let me love you, because I know you'll break my heart

Please don't call me “darling”, when I know you don't love me
And please don't whisper “sweetheart”, for I know it just can't be

When I'm lonely, I want you only
Where is the dream I once knew?
Oh please don't let me love you, because I know you'll be untrue

lyrics

Please don't let me love you, just because I'm feelin' blue / And please don't let me kiss you because I know you'll be untrue

Because you're sweet dear, I want to love you, please stay away from my hear / And please don't let me love you, because I know you'll break my heart

Please don't call me “darling”, when I know you don't love me /And please don't whisper “sweetheart”, for I know it just can't be

When I'm lonely, I want you only / Where is the dream I once knew? / Oh please don't let me love you, because I know you'll be untrue

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
