Tell Me

Tell me, tell me, tell me that you don't mind
And I'll keep moving backward
Tell me, tell me, tell me you'll be alright
And I'll let my broken memories stir
Disregard my conscious and heed your words
If it means I'll stay afloat
But how do I give into the lines we blurred
If we're tied to a sinking boat?

Baby I can love you, just give me time
To pick up all the broken parts
I'll tear apart my peace until I can find
Another way to fall apart

If I told you I'm jaded, would you believe me?
Or would you brush it off?
If I gave you my problems, would you deceive me?
Or would you brush it off and say it's all okay?

This time
I'll look beyond myself
Snap the rope and
Admit I need your help

Confiscate my thoughts and let my doubts wear thin
To take a shot into the dark
Light another match I know that I can't win
A game we lost from the start

If I told you I'm nervous would you believe me
Or would you brush it off
If I gave you my secrets would you deceive me
Or would you push me down and say it's not okay?

This time
I'll look beyond myself
Snap the rope and
Admit I need your help

I gave it all
Just to see you walk away
It's not your fault
I couldn't make you wait
I think i'm scared
Of what you're going to say
I wasted time

If I told you I'm jaded, would you believe me?
Or would you laugh it off?
If I gave you my problems, would you deceive me?
Or would you brush it off and say it's all okay?

This time
I'll look beyond myself
Snap the rope and
Admit I need your help

I lied
I think I'm better left alone
But when I hold you in the dark
I feel as though I'm home
