TELL ME NOW

It's been a while now
Since we last talked
I mean talk as we used to
Been a while now, sweetheart
That I'm going under
Gazing to the ceiling
Counting black dots all night long

Tell me now,
How long shall I keep this smiling mask
Tell me now,
How long will you tie me up your strings

I can bet that you're feeling lonely
Perhaps as much as I do
But each time I try to soothe you
You step backward and refuse my hand
Are you really strong
Or your ego playing you along?

Tell me now,
When will you confess you'd die to cry
Tell me now,
When will you face the truth you can't run from

Every bits and pieces of my heart
Falling apart like broken glass
But take your time now
And look where you should head
Think twice before you take a step
The gapping void is under cover

Tell me now,
If there's another future without you
Tell me now,
That your love is not given for granted
Tell me now,
Will you come to me if you're lonely too
Tell me now,
Do you think you may need me tomorrow

Tell me now ....
Tell me now ....
