Tell Me a Story


Tell me how I feel
Tell me how I will be
Tell me what I know
Tell me who I want to be

Tell me that I’m loved
Tell me that you care
Tell me I’m the perfect me
Tell me I’m worth the dare

Tell me the story of us
Tell me you love me so
Tell me you want me for a forever
Tell me I make you feel high when you should feel low

Tell me I’m worth the risk
Tell me I’m worth the fear
Tell me I’m what you’ve wanted
Tell me you’ll always hold me, dear

Tell me I can always count on you
Tell me you’ll always stay
Tell me you’ll be here no matter what
Tell me you’ll show me the way

Tell me that you’ve prepared
Tell me you’re something you’ve worked on
Tell me you’re proud of who you are
Tell me this isn’t just a con

Tell me what we have is eternal
Tell me you know we’re true
Tell me this is something you’ve prayed for
Tell me our love is something new

Tell me you’re willing to help me change
Tell me you’re willing to linger near
Tell me you’re willing to love me forever
Tell me my voice you’ll always here

Tell me our love was fantasy made real
Tell me you’ll never let me leave
Tell me you’ll always hold me tight
Tell me to me you’ll always cleave

Tell me you’ll love all of my quirks
Tell me you’ll love me despite my faults
Tell me you’ll love my little lost moments
Tell me our love will never be brought to a halt

Tell me there’ll be hard times
Tell me that we may fight
Tell me we’ll work through it
Tell me those hard times will make us burn bright

Tell me you’ll let your colors show
Tell me you’ll always be you
Tell me you’ll help me be me
Tell me we can always be true        

Tell me there’ll be good times
Tell me those times will be great
Tell me we’ll find joy in the hardships
Tell me the sorry’s will never be late

Tell me our love will be crazy
Tell me our love will be meaningful
Tell me our love will be simple
Tell me our love will be whole

Tell me you’ll never make me jealous
Tell me this is not some game
Tell me you’ve had some target practice
Tell me I’m where you’ve aimed
