Tell You

I can picture your room, every time that I do

We're alone in the back of my head

All the notes on the wall, and the pillow too small

What I'd give to be back in your bed

I don't wanna lose ya, I don't wanna hurt ya

But I did nonetheless

You bring me closer to God, but I'm not what you thought

I'm adrift, I'm awake, I'm a mess

So tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

I can never get you off my mind

And I could lie, say I'm fine, pull a smile

But I think about you every single night

Bring me to the fire

Wash me in the water

How am I supposed to leave this?

Write a song and hope you'll hear it?

Throw me to the lions

Tell me I'm a liar

How am I supposed to love you

When I don't know how to tell you?

They say you can't force a spark, so I'll wait in the dark

I'm a waste of your light anyway

And what hurts me the most, is that you'll never know

What you meant to the fool that I've been

I don't wanna miss ya, I don't wanna quit ya

But I did nonetheless

You pull me down to the ground, with the speed of the sound

That it took to regret what I did

And I could lie, say I'm fine, pull a smile

But I think about you every single night

Bring me to the fire

Wash me in the water

How am I supposed to leave this?

Write a song and hope you'll hear it?

Throw me to the lions

Tell me I'm a liar

How am I supposed to love you

When I don't know how to tell you?

I wanna tell you

Tell you

The letter that you wrote me

Burning on my mind

Over and over again

I could read it backwards

Every single line

It hurts just as much as the first time I tried

Bring me to the fire

Wash me in the water

How am I supposed to leave this?

Write a song and hope you'll hear it?

Throw me to the lions

Tell me I'm a liar

How am I supposed to love you

When I don't know how to tell you?

I wanna tell you

Tell you

I wanna tell you

Tell you
