Tell Me

Big dark circles underneath your eyes
I could trace the sadness hidden in the lines
Jet black hair like mine, standing on its ends
Shoulders tipping over, hiding from your sins

We never took a picture, but it's burned into my mind
Didn't want nobody asking why you with this guy
I can see from the other side, that you're the jealous type
But when it's time to say goodbye

Tell me I'm the one
Tell me that you're changing
Tell me that you'd go and do it different if we made it
You're feeding me all of your same shit
Maybe back then I would take it
Maybe back then it would make me forget all the reasons that I couldn't save this

You like my hair long so i cut it to my chin
I can't end my days back in Michigan

Couldn't take the distance when I moved out to the stars
Didn't want the picket fence and kids out in the yard
I can see from the other side we wouldn't get that far
But when i tried to say goodbye

Tell me I'm the one
Tell me that you're changing
Tell me that you'd go and do it different if we made it
You're feeding me all of your same shit
Maybe back then I would take it
Maybe back then it would make me forget all the reasons that I couldn't save this

Said you hated red so now I paint it on my lips
Easy to erase the pictures you were never in
Maybe that's a sign that we would never walk the aisle
Sometimes I still think about the child in your smile

Tell me I'm the one
Tell me that you're changing
Tell me that you'd go and do it different if we made it
You're feeding me all of your same shit
Maybe back then I would take it
Maybe back then it would make me forget all the reasons that I couldn't save this
