Tell me something sweet
just to get me by.
Tell me you're okay
so I can smile for a day
and stop those tears I cry.
Tell me you're back, now
and you'll never leave again
but if you've got anything to say
please don't let it be a lie.

Tell me you're still mine
to hold in my arms tonight.
Tell me you're as in love
as you were the previous nights.
Tell me you still care
that you're not going to leave
me here in these lonely city lights.

Tell me that you don't
plan on running away
and that if I should forget myself
you'll still try to stay.

Tell me I still come to your mind
when you feel alone.
Tell me that you still love me
as I've loved and known.
Tell me that the distance hurts you
just as much it does me
because it's becoming harder and harder
to see.

And I'll tell you that I miss you
and that the days without you here
make me feel like only half of me is there.
I'll tell you that I've been okay
and the only reason I have cried
is not seeing you for a few days.
And I'll promise you, that it's very true
I'll try to be happy when you're here, if it's the last I do.

I'll tell you that I still love you
as much as I said I always do
if not, even more than I had before.
I'll tell you I belong to you
that you'll never be alone
and will forevermore, as you always knew.

I'll tell you I don't plan on running away
and only plan on holding you tightly
to make you feel better as much as any other day.


I'll tell you that you're on my mind
each and every day
and that I'm patiently waiting for you
to come back my way.
And I'll tell you, in everything I do
that no matter what
I'll still love you.
