"Tell You" lyrics

I can picture your room
Every time that I do
We're alone in the back of my head
All the notes on the wall
And the pillow too small
What I'd give to be back in your bed
I don't wanna lose ya
I don't wanna hurt ya
But I did nonetheless

You bring me closer to god
But I'm not what you thought
I'm adrift, I'm awake, I'm a mess
So tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
I can never get you off my mind
And I could lie, say I'm fine, pull a smile
But I think about you every single night

Bring me to the fire
Wash me in the water
How am I supposed to leave this?
Write a song and hope you'll hear it?

Throw me to the lions
Tell me I'm a liar
How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't know how to tell you

They say you can't force a spark
So I'll wait in the dark
I'm a waste of your light anyway
And what hurts me the most
Is that you'll never know
What you meant to the fool that I've been
I don't wanna miss ya
I don't wanna quit ya
But I did nonetheless

You pull me down to the ground
With the speed of the sound
That it took to regret what I did
And I could lie, say I'm fine, pull a smile
But I think about you every single night

Bring me to the fire
Wash me in the water
How am I supposed to leave this?
Write a song and hope you'll hear it?

Throw me to the lions
Tell me I'm a liar
How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't know how to tell you
I wanna tell you
Tell you

The letter that you wrote me
Burning on my mind
Over and over again

I could read it backwards
Every single line
It hurts just as much as the first time I tried

Bring me to the fire
Wash me in the water
How am I supposed to leave this?
Write a song and hope you'll hear it?

Throw me to the lions
Tell me I'm a liar
How am I supposed to love you?
When I don't know how to tell you
I wanna tell you
Tell you

I wanna tell you
Tell you
