Just tell me

I’m taking back all the promises
that I made myself before
You proved yourself worthy
of every tear and broken smile I’ve had
My mother always told me
don’t bite the hand that feeds you
But all you’ve ever fed me is lies

So how long will it take to make me wrong
Time keeps running thin
when your eyes show me nothing but lies
I need a sign, don’t leave me here

And I’d give anything for us to start it all again
But you take all I can give you
And so I ask you one more time
to please me why, why you lie
Just tell me why you lie

So turn your cellphone volume down
I can hear his voice, I can hear him say
“I love you baby, call me later, bye”
So tell me stories, tell me you’re just friends
I know much better than you think I do
And it’s because of you I can tell

So tell me how long will it take to make me wrong
Time keeps running thin
when your eyes show me nothing but lies
I need a sign, don’t leave me here

And I’d give anything for us to start it all again
But you take all I can give you
And so I ask you one more time
to please me why, why you lie
Just tell me why you lie

Getting sympathy from you but I never wanted any
Sympathy from you but I never wanted any
Sympathy from you but I never wanted any
Sympathy from you but I never wanted any
I never wanted anything but the truth
Yeah I never wanted anything from you
Goodbye

Don’t go, I’ll wait for the wounds to mend
And I’ll give you time to find yourself again
We could be as lovely as I hoped we’d be before

Just tell me what to do,
Just tell me how to love you
Just tell me what to do,
Just tell me how to love you
Just tell me what to do,
Just tell me how to love you
Just tell me what to do,
Just tell, just tell
