Tell Me

Lived two separate lives
I'm caught up with no time
'Cause baby, I need to know
What you think
Am I wasting my time?
Am I trying to hide?
From problems that I made with you, girl

So tell me what I really should be
You tell me what I wanna believe
Open your eyes, I let you decide
So give yourself a reason to be
So don't tell me what I really should be
You say those things, it's all make-believe
Opened my eyes to see your disguise
I give myself a reason to stay

I was just tryna please you
When we started all of this off
But babe, it's hard to read you
Girl, I just don't know what you want
So tell me are you afraid of the real you
Girl, you shouldn't have to change yourself for me
'Cause I don't wanna love a stranger that's not you
I just wanna see your face

So baby, take off the mask
Don't worry, you won't make me sick
Don't be so scared of the past
Don't think that I'll call it quits
So can we not pretend? You don't really trust me
Yeah, I heard it from your friends
We been keeping secrets
But I'm tryna make amends
So I promise I'll be real before everything ends

'Cause I've been running
Yeah, I've been running
I can't keep running
From me, from you, oh
I'll take your baggage, I don't mind
It's hard to manage but I'll try
Don't take advantage if I'm kind
'Cause I just can't let everything slide

So tell me what I really should be
You tell me what I wanna believe
Open your eyes, I let you decide
So give yourself a reason to be
So don't tell me what I really should be
You say those things, it's all make-believe
Opened my eyes to see your disguise
I give myself a reason to stay

So don't tell me what I really should be
You say those things, it's all make-believe
Opened my eyes to see your disguise
I give myself a reason to stay

I like that take
