Tell me what you want me to say

​

I open my broken heart and share all that I am.

Most don't even notice, but you actually seem to see.

You said that's everything you've been looking for in a man.

I didn't notice at first, now cant help but think what might be.

 

Conversations good and the relationships in bloom;

till you ask about the guy in the other room.

 

Tell me what you want me to say;

cause whats in my mind wont come out the right way.

 

I know its a bad idea, but I think about it anyway.

All I want is for you to stay,

but now I know you don't look at me the same way.

 

Maybe it was all the stress or too much to drink,

we shared a moment and a kiss, in a night of what should be bliss.

But the next morning left me not knowing what to think

I'd give everything in my life for it not to have ended like this.

 

You mention that its just between us, no one else should find out.

Now there's this perfect thing, we're not allowed to talk about.

Suddenly you're with a friend of mine, here in this place,

and I Have to watch you be with someone else,

all without escape.
