Tell Me                        8/8/04

Tell me that you love me. Tell me I'm your only one.
Tell me I'm beautiful, that I shine brighter than the sun.
Tell me that I make your life worth living day and night.
Tell me why you're so quiet. What do you have to  hide?

Chorus:
Don't lie to me. Do you love me truly?
Don't lie to me. Tell me what you're feeling.
Please tell me. I need to know.
Tell me if you wanna go.
I can't promise I'll understand.
In fact, I know I can't.

Tell me, is there another girl? Tell me what she's like.
Tell me what I didn't do. I wanna make things right.
I wanna be the one to hold you when you cry.
I wanna be there to wipe the tears from your eyes.
Please tell me what you want from me.
I'll do anything you ask.
But don't walk away and never think to look back.

Chorus:
Don't lie to me. Do you love me truly?
Don't lie to me. Tell me what you're feeling.
Please tell me. I need to know.
Tell me if you wanna go.
I can't promise that I'll understand.
To tell you the truth, I know I can't.

I couldn't bear the thought of you with someone else,
because it would make my life a living hell.
Loving you is the greatest thing in my life it seems.
Please, I'm begging you, don't leave me.
Don't leave me here to fade away into loniness.
I know I'll just drift into darkness.
Please make this pain go away. Tell me that you'll stay with me.

Chorus:
Don't lie to me. Do you love me truly?
Don't lie to me. Tell me what you're feeling.
Please tell me. I need to know.
Tell me if you wanna go.
Hopefully I'll understand,
but I'll tell you if I can't.
