tell me you're not

tell me you're not lyrics

Verse 1

I left it open
for you to answer
I said it soft
like I was practicing

You heard it once
then stayed too quiet
now I’m just here
finishing your side

Pre-Chorus

Say something small
say anything
I can work with
almost anything

Chorus

Tell me you're not
tell me you're not
tell me you're not

...tell me you are

Tell me you're not
Tell me you're not
Tell me you're not

...tell me you are

Verse 2

I hate that I
still keep the good parts
like they might come back
if I hold still

You didn’t slam it
you just went distant
that’s the part
I can’t outrun

Pre-Chorus

Say something small
say anything
I can work with
almost anything

Chorus

Tell me you're not
tell me you're not
tell me you're not

...tell me you are

Tell me you're not
Tell me you're not
Tell me you're not

...tell me you are

Bridge

I rehearsed this
in my head all night
sound like a joke
say it light

But my mouth went dry
and there it was
the truth I kept
wrapped in noise

Tell me you're not
tell me you're not
tell me you're not

...tell me you are

Tell me you're not
tell me you're not
tell me you're not

...tell me you are

Tell me you're not
tell me you're not
I need the lie
to sound like hope
