“Tell Me…”
Written October 16th, 2007

Tell me you’re listening
Tell me you can hear me
You’re suppose to know what I’m thinking
Tell me that you know
Tell me that you understand how I feel
Tell me that you feel it too
Tell me that you know what to do
Tell me that everything is okay
That everything will be fine
Tell me that you aren’t going anywhere
And heal my insecurities
Tell me that I’m the one
Even if I’m not
Tell me everything that I want to hear
Even if you don’t want to say it.
