Lyrics

Tell me you love me

Late nights, city lights, but the room feels cold
Your shadow on the wall, but your heart won’t unfold
I trace your name in the fog on the windowpane
Every breath I take is calling out your name
I see the way you look at me when you think I’m not around
But silence cuts like a knife when the lights go down

I don’t need the stars, don’t need the moon above
Just three little words from the one I love

Tell me you love me, say it slow, make it real
Let it echo through my soul so I can feel
Whisper it, scream it, write it in the sky
Tell me you love me… before the morning says goodbye
Tell me you love me, baby, don’t hold back tonight
I’m hanging on every word, every heartbeat, every sigh

We dance around the truth like it’s a fragile flame
Afraid that saying it might make it go away
But I’m tired of guessing, tired of reading signs
I need your voice to quiet all these questions in my mind
Your touch says maybe, your eyes say almost there
But my heart is starving for the words you never share

I don’t want the world, don’t want diamonds or gold
Just you looking in my eyes and letting it be told

Tell me you love me, say it slow, make it real
Let it echo through my soul so I can feel
Whisper it, scream it, write it in the sky
Tell me you love me… before the morning says goodbye
Tell me you love me, baby, don’t hold back tonight
I’m hanging on every word, every heartbeat, every sigh

If tomorrow never comes and this is all we get
Don’t let me wonder, don’t leave me with regret
Break the silence, tear the walls down
Say it now… say it loud…

Tell me you love me… like it’s the last time
Like the stars might fall and the sun won’t shine
Tell me you love me… let the whole world hear
I’ve been waiting forever, just to know you’re here
Tell me you love me…
Yeah, tell me you love me…
Baby, please… tell me you love me.
