tell me

tell me that i don't need you
because lately it's been that way
i lean on your smiles, yes i do
and hang on everything you say

tell me that i can stand alone
because its getting harder each day
i long to hear your voice on the phone
when i really should be staying away

tell me that i'd move on from you
because i see no hope in sight
it's been a journey and i've yet to pull through
and i'm starting to think i won't see the light

tell me that i'm strong, and i always was
because my heart seems fragile now
it may crack under the tiniest force
and it will shatter if you ask me how

tell me that you don't love me at all
because i need to hear it straight from you
let me stumble, let me fall
and then, let me start anew...
