What Do You Want Me To Tell You?

What do you want me to tell you?

That I'm not awake in the middle of the night?

What do you want me to tell you?

That I'm doing fine and things are alright.

What do you want me to tell you?

That you aren't my first thought when I wake.

What do you want me to tell you?

That my sorry patched up heart cannot break.

But I can't tell you contents of that sad heavy heart.

And I can't tell you that my universe has torn ours apart.

I can't tell you that there's no music that can ever heal my soul.

And I can't tell you that it was you that made me feel whole.

I can't tell you how I feel about the mistakes that I made.

I can't tell you all of the things that I wish I had said.

I can't tell you of sunsets and slow kitchen dances

Or tell you that I wish for just one of those second chances.

The memories fade but they are still imprinted on my heart.

The onslaught of my emotions I had to impart.

Buried deep, lost their meaning, you had to let go.

But I can't, it's too much, my heart yearns for you

So

What do you want me to tell you?

That I don't need you or struggle without you?

What do you want me to tell you?

That I'm not the same man you once knew?

What do you want me to tell you?

That I can deny all the love I hold true.

What do you want me to tell you?

If you'd listen then I would just tell you.
