Tell Me

I'm bleeding at your feet

Curse my fluttering heartbeat

My love led me here, into your embrace

But why do you still hide your face

Please, show me your dark eyes again

They're trapped in a pen

I must be honest then

I've never showed you my real face

For fear of your grace

You'll be too kind to me

Say I'm so pretty

But, in reality, I want your real self

They tell me, "Give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself,"

Not knowing how close that hits to my heart

Where is the end to this love

Did it even have a start

They tell me no, ask me how much I would give

If I could live

Forever with you, until my death, I do not respond

Our bond

Can never be severed, unless you yourself cut the tie

But, please, boy, don't break my heart by saying goodbye

Tell me you'll kiss me one more time

Just one more time

I don't ask for much, just tell me

Please, baby, just tell me

They ask me, "Do you wish to be forever young?"

Advertisements, pretty actresses, all leave me feeling stung

I flick my hair away from my face like a match

Ready to snatch

Any semblance of hope you have left

"This is theft!"

Your cries fall on deaf ears

No hope appears, and, as you fade

I whisper into your ear, like grass crackling in a summer glade

"Tell me you don't want this, and it'll end,"

You respond, "I only wish to be your friend."

With a melancholy sigh

I leap high

Finish you off with a quick slice to your neck

And when your new girl comes in to check

I'll say the same thing

"Tell me you don't want this, and it'll end,"

This girl is cruel and relentless, she doesn't want to be my friend

So I finish her off, but this time more slowly

I wholly

Dislike everything about you now

Oh, let me explain to you, this fight did endow

Me with the knowledge I've hidden for so long

You thought I was weak, yet I was strong

You weren't a danger all along

You tried to cut me

My skin isn't paper, you see

You say you're smart

But in reality, you're skilled at the art

Of deception and trickery

You made me

Believe I was worse than you, believe I was a weak nothing

But, in reality, you're a fool

I'm not just a tool

For your amusement, I'm more

Now I lash out at you

Are you crying, are you hurt? Score!

I'm not soft anymore, boy

You're altogether too coy

Does it hurt when you get hit

Your strikes hurt only a bit

Tell me you'll leave me alone, and this will end

Neither of us can be friends

Tell me you won't hurt me anymore, and this will end

You see, I know you never wanted to be my friend

My wounds are now healed

Your face is all bruised, it never appealed

To me anyway

I'll fight you everyday

If you ignore me

So boy, please tell me

This shyness hurts nobody but you

Oh, you told me

Well then, shoo fly, shoo!
