You Need to Tell Me

by Jemma   Aug 17, 2006


The same thing evading my touch
You tell me there's no need to rush
But when it comes to you there's no time
Lost without you, is love really such a crime?
To be punished this way
You're leading me astray
But I keep following your call
I trust you to catch me as I fall
To leap and save me
To be the one to heal me
I know you won't let me go
I know I need you
So, so much
Need your touch
Need you to let me live
I need all you're willing to give
I need everything about you
Don't you need me too?

I beg over
Over
Over and over again
Calling and calling
Don't you hear your name?
Can't you see me searching?
Can't you feel me reaching?
Don't you see me cry?
Don't you know the reason why?
All I need to know
Is that you won't let me go
Please, please just let me live
I need all you have to give

See you with my waking eyes
See you talking, riddles and lies
Please tell me the truth
That's what I need to hear
I need to hear it from you
Maybe you will if I persevere
Keep on trying
Though my heart is slowly dying
My soul is fading
Everything is jading
Imperfect, left wanting, always alone
Left where I've been thrown
Cast aside always at the last moment, why?
Why can't you just tell me why?
It's all fine, just let me know
I don't wanna let you go

I don't mind waiting
To get rid of this crap we're creating
Need to make everything clear
To let us know what we hold dear
You need to say how you feel now
You need to let me know when and how
You need to trust me
You need to love me
And I'm calling and reaching I'm screaming and screeching
If only you could hear me
Instead you seem to fear me
You only need to tell me what you need
Need to tell me what you need
You need to show me why you run away
You need to tell me why you're afraid

To be punished this way
You're leading me astray
But I keep following your call
I trust you to catch me as I fall

I see you in the starry nights
I see you in those twinkling lights
I see you in the waning moon
The mornings come too soon
You need to fill my day
You need to stop running away
Only coming cloaked in darkness
It's too much

To be punished this way
You're leading me astray
But I keep following your call
I trust you to catch me as I fall
Don't let me go
