Tell me

Tell me I'm pretty.
Tell me I'm thin.
Tell me what matters is
what lies within.

Tell me you need me.
Tell me you care.
Tell me you'd be sad
if I wasn't there.

Tell me you love me
Tell me you do,
Tell me just how long
I've been waiting for you

Tell me we're over
Tell me we're dead
Tell me to stop crying,
and kill myself instead

You could tell me anything
but I'll never believe it's true
You could take away everything,
but I'll still be in love with you.

You can force me to eat,
You can dry my damp eyes
You can take away the gun
But then, I'll bleed myself dry.

You can kiss me and hug me
and love me, all you want;
It'll only hurt that much more
when I'm finally gone.
