lyrics

Tell Me
(R. Soper)

Something about you, I could not deny
Just a little bit of danger, perfection in my eyes
Every time I lay my head, a vision of you I see
Trouble for sure, but I just couldn’t let it be

She’s so beautifully broken
As I make the same mistake again

Nothing good is easy, time will tell my dear
To pursue promise of beauty with no peer
Center of attention, not an eye can ever stray
Seems you craved the spotlight long before today

She’s so beautifully broken
As I make the same mistake again

Tell me the words I long to hear
Pour me the sweetest tonic that is you my dear
Show me the lies are not what they might seem
Tell me those little words you never, ever, ever, ever mean

Now I finally see what I couldn’t before
As you glide atop the water with a crown of thorns
I wanted so much more than just a little taste
It’s not the catch, but the thrill of the chase

She’s so beautifully broken
I’m making the same mistakes again

Tell me the words I long to hear
Pour me the sweetest tonic that is you my dear
Show me the lies are not what they might seem
Tell me those little words you never, ever mean
(repeat)

Lie to me, just lie to me
Just lie to me
