Tell Me

Tell me it’s all in my head and the world’s not falling apart Tell me this pain will go away that plagues my beating heart Tell me the constant rain is necessary for life Tell me this existence is worth the suffering and strife Tell me to keep my chin up and look to the bright side Tell me all the clichés that give false hope and misguide Tell me there will be better days and wonderful nights Tell me not to jump because I’m terrified of heights Tell me you’ll always be there for me no matter what Tell me any lies to try and get me out of this rut Tell me this is all too much and you need some time to think Tell me not to worry as you leave with a wink Tell me you were wrong not everything turns out okay Tell me you’re not sure if I will ever find my way Tell me anything you want as long as it’s true Tell me this is something I will never get through Tell me I’m the only cause of all of my despair Tell me my way of breathing will never get me enough air Tell me it’s all over there is no hope for me Tell me that darkness is all I’ll ever see
