What You Say (Song)

What You Say

You say my beauty is of worth

Worth in your eyes

And worth for something unearthed

You think my "beauty" is true

But it doesn't shine when you aren't here

Because there is no beauty to be there

You think I am something that I'm not

Why do you make my dying heart no longer root?

Why couldn't you let me go . . .

What you saw; I will never know

Explain to me the beauty of this

The untold lie of this horrid myth

Explain to me how you can see

Something good in a girl

As cold and heartless as me

How do you not run?

How do you not hide . . . ?

I'm a broken girl

Just lost inside

So tell me this

Because you, I cannot kiss

Until I know the truth to your words

The truth behind the girl you call your world

I cannot kiss you, touch you

And hold you close to my heart

Until I hear the truth behind everyone's eyes

Until I hear what needs to be said to fix

The pain

The suffering

The nagging feelings that I've done wrong

No,

I cannot love you

Or trust you

Or even want you . . .

Until I know that you mean what you say

When you say "I love you"
