Tell Me
Yearning Echoes: Corey Ward's Melodic Plea for Love
Lyrics
I can feel the distance between us
I sense a growing emotional distance between us.
Even holding hands feels dishonest
Even physical closeness, like holding hands, feels insincere or deceptive.
Was there something I said
Is there something specific I said that caused this distance?
Or something I missed
Or did I overlook something important?
Trying to figure out
Reflecting on how our relationship reached its current state.
How'd we end up like this
Wondering about the reasons behind the current situation.
Used to fall asleep while we FaceTimed
We used to fall asleep while video chatting.
Dinner in a booth on the same side
Memories of shared dinners, close and intimate.
Now when we go out
Now, when we go out, your thoughts seem elsewhere.
Your mind's somewhere else
Your mind is preoccupied, creating distance.
All of this silence is bad for my health
The prolonged silence is negatively affecting my well-being.
Tell me your lungs need to breathe the same air
Expressing a need for reassurance about the shared connection.
Tell me your bones ache when I'm not there
Seeking affirmation that my absence affects you physically.
Tell me you love me
Requesting verbal confirmation of love.
Tell me you love me
-The touch of your skin got me outta my mind
Your touch is so powerful that it overwhelms my thoughts.
Tell me your heart doesn't work without mine
Asking for confirmation that your heart is intertwined with mine.
Tell me you love me
Reiterating the plea for verbal affirmation, even if insincere.
Just Tell me you love me, even if it's just a lie
-We already know what the truth is
Acknowledging the awareness of the truth about the relationship.
Slipping through your fingers bout to lose grip
The truth is slipping away, and the grip on the relationship is weakening.
All of this doubt is caving my chest
Doubt is causing a heavy, suffocating feeling.
I'm begging you now if there's anything left
Begging for any remaining connection or commitment.
Tell me your lungs need to breathe the same air
Repeating the request for assurance and physical impact.
Tell me your bones ache when I'm not there
-Tell me you love me
Repeating the plea for verbal affirmation of love.
Tell me you love me
-The touch of your skin got me outta my mind
Describing the intense effect of your touch on my sanity.
Tell me your heart doesn't work without mine
Confirming the importance of your heart to mine.
Tell me you love me
Reiterating the plea for verbal affirmation, even if insincere.
Just Tell me you love me, even if it's just a lie
-If it's the last time I'm ever gonna kiss you
Considering the possibility of this being the last intimate moment.
If it's the last time you're ever gonna get to
-Tell me your lungs need to breathe the same air
Repeating the request for assurance and physical impact.
Tell me your bones ache when I'm not there
-Tell me you love me
Repeating the plea for verbal affirmation of love.
Tell me you love me
-The touch of your skin got me outta my mind
Highlighting the powerful impact of your skin on my mental state.
Tell me your heart doesn't work without mine
Reaffirming the importance of your heart to mine.
Tell me you love me
Reiterating the plea for verbal affirmation, even if insincere.
Just Tell me you love me, even if it's just a lie
