tell me something


Tell me something
Tell me you care whether I live or die
Tell you will at least try
To love a stranger like me whose smile
Is only there just to hide the pain for a while
Tell me that this heartbeat of mine is not wasted
On things that have my emotions twisted
In a ball of confusion      
I do not know what I did
Tell me loving you won’t make me bleed
Because at this moment all my thoughts are poured out
In the tears that ran down this drain
Tell me there is sunshine after this rain
Cause this storm seems forever
Every step I take feels like blades cutting into this heart of mine
Therefore I am left with one question did you ever
Did you ever feel the same way about me
Did the skies seem brighter whenever you heard my voice
Did my words ever dwell in your heart
Did they ever find a resting place
Or did they disappear when they left my lips
Was this an illusion that could never be reality
Did you ever feel that your world had a place for me in it
Or were the feelings I hold for the faint hearted
Hearts that could never see their true potential
Tell me something
Whisper it so my lips can feel your presence
So that the stars can hear your heartbeat
Whenever you choose to lie to me
Tell me something did you ever feel the same
Or was I a challenge that you marked off your checklist
Only to move on and to leave your footprint
On this heart that you left on this floor
Tell me something
Are my tears wasted on what could never be
Tell me was this a lie was it an illusion
Or a dream that could never be
These are just simple questions
Please put me out of my misery
Was there a chance that you and I
Somehow could ever be
Tell me something and let my heart beat free
