Tell Me

Tell me, do you see
What my heart holds?
Do you feel it break
Every time you pull away?

Tell me, do you see
The fire in my eyes?
That slowly smolders out
Every time you silence yourself.

Tell me, do you see
The passion that I feel for you?
And tell me, do you see it die
Every time you withdraw?

Tell me, do you see
The tears fall from my eyes
Every time you close your heart
And shut me out?

Tell me, do you see
All that I could give to you?
How easy it would be
To lose my heart to you.

Tell me, do you see
The love that I have to offer?
The love that I want to give to you
And no one lese?

Tell me, do you see
Me in your arms
Us together, growing old,
Years from now?

Tell me what you see
Because I can not know
If you push me away
Whenever I try to get close.

Tell me what you see
Deep within your heart.
I can't see past the wall
You have built around it.

Tell me, please, tell me
Before it is too late for us.
Tell me, please, tell me
Do you love me?
