Tell Me You Love Me

The hardest part is
Watching you walk away
Your head held high
Falling into a safer place

I'm unstable and imperfect
I can see myself falling
As you leave me standing
Alone in the dark

The door clicks shut again
And here I am wondering
Is this going to be my life
From this moment on

I had all I ever wanted
You just needed to stay
I wanted you to be there
But you left as did the light

I won't wait for you since
You're never coming back
Even if I beg and plead
It'll never be the same

I loved you with
All that was left of my heart
Broken and stitched with
Good intentions and hope

The blame is lying here
On the ground before us
Asking who is to be at fault
For our untimely falling out

Every word you tell me now
Was the truth and nothing but
Yet somehow your words
Are empty and unsure to me

I won't cry for you this time
Since it's obvious you never
Wanted me in your life and
Were waiting for your prince

So I was the young maiden
Eager and so full of hope
Trying to find a sense of life
A spark to ignite my life again

How can it not feel like you used me
Just so you could be united with him
Running down that aisle
That special smile for him, not me

I just want you to tell me you love me
Like you always did before
With a smile that was mine alone
Tenderness that was meant for me

Say those three words like
Maybe just this last time you mean it
So all I did was not in vain
And the pain meant something
