Just Tell Me


Keep giving me

What you've been given me

All this time

All these years

Looking back

I wonder

Why I had to be so scared

All the time

As if I didn't know

You were mine

Forever

For good

Locked it in

Tasted you

Felt you on my skin

And I knew

It would always be you

 

Running your fingers

Through my hair

It's just not fair

The way

You take the air

Right out of my lungs

Can't breathe

When you look at me

Like that

Got me going 

So easy

When you kiss me

Like you were made to do it

Nothing to it

You said

I'm the song

On repeat in your head

You feel me

Like the sheets on your bed

Wrapped around you

Nice and tight

Rocking me

Every night

 

Make it okay

Say it's okay

If I stay

Every day

Every night

Make it alright

For me again

Take the pain

And put it away

Like every other time

Tell me

This is it

No more wasting time

No more circles

No more burning bridges

Just tell me

What I need to hear

Tell me

There's nothing to fear

No when you're here

Not when you love me

Just tell me
