Say something poetic
Say something not so cliche
Tell me I'm pretty
Tell me how much I mean
Say that you will always stay
Tell me you'll never leave
Tell me I'm special
Tell me you believe
Tell me how I'm an exception to all your rules
Tell me to you I mean the world
Make me promises
Say I'm so smart
Tell me I'm awesome
Then tear our love apart
Say your giving us up
Tell me we're not okay
Say something to justify all the hurtful things said
Tell me I'm your dream girl
That I belong with you
Say something factual
Say something cruel
Tell me I don't have to leave
Explain it to me so I can understand
Point out my faults with my heart in your hand
Render me speechless with all your good points
Use your intelligence to make me feel not smart
Tell me how you're a better human being
Convince me of all the ways that I'm wrong
Educate me on where you think I belong
But don't say you loved me when I meant nothing at all
And don't call me baby doll
Don't tell me I look pretty in the snow
Don't pretend that you tried to mend my busted soul
Tell me how you had good intent
Say what you need to say in order to vent
Accuse me of things you think you know
Tell me I lied
But don't say I never tried
Tell me you've always been there for me
Use reverse psychology and turn it all around on me
Tell me that you're a hero
Tell me I'm the fool
Tell me how you'll stay til time is no more
Speak your words into my broken heart
And I won't say anything at all...
