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
