You Tell Me So

I know you love me, you tell me so

Still, I will get up and go

For under my skin and bones, my gravity will turn

And pull me down slow

There is a light, and it never fades away

Even when darkness descends

Shadows come unannounced and overwhelm my body

With crippling doubt, and I'm flickering out

There's water in the jug, but I am empty

Your heart is full of love, and mine is empty

My mouth is lost for words, but I will be fine

I'm just edging away, I'm edging away

It's only when I lie awake at night

That I can realise

The tailspin it put me in has occupied my mind

From your ocean eyes, your unfading light

There's water in the jug, but I am empty

Your heart is full of love, and mine is empty

My mouth is lost for words, but I will be fine

I'm just edging away, I'm moving away

I'm floating in space, and I'm losing my way

I'm ashamed of the way I am losing face

I know you love me, you tell me so
