What You Tell Me
“What You Tell Me ”
© 2003 Michelle Lynn LeBlanc
You tell me that I’m beautiful
You tell me you love me so
You tell me I need to trust you
In order for me to grow
You tell me I need to open
You tell me I need people's love
You tell me that I’m precious
And that I'm one you're proud of
Yet, I tell you ,“inside I’m ugly”
I tell you “love really means pain”
I tell you” it’s hard to trust you
Because how others said words in vain”
I tell you ”I need these walls”
I tell you ” I can’t handle people's love”
I tell you, “I’m just too broken
When their push comes to shove”
Yet You always draw near to hold me
To tell me I can trust your heart
Even when I run away so far
Your love always leaves its mark!
