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
