[Verse 1]
Thought I was saving you,
But I was losing me
I stored the hurt away,
Hidden in the shadows of yesterday
You were always by my side,
You always gave me your time
Now I’m left alone,
No longer feeling like I’m made of stone
[Pre-chorus]
Forced to look in, I don’t like what I see
But this isn’t the man that I want to be
[Chorus]
Tell me you need me, tell me to stay
Look in my eyes, say what you have to say
Not giving up, not giving in
I made mistakes, it’s not the end
Tell me how to love you,
I’ll do whatever I have to
So, tell me you need me, tell me to stay
[Verse 2]
Thought I was saving you,
But I was losing me
Outstretched arms are reaching
My heart a door you’re breaching
[Chorus]
Tell me you need me, tell me to stay
Look in my eyes, say what you have to say
Not giving up, not giving in
I made mistakes, it’s not the end
Tell me how to love you,
I’ll do whatever I have to
So, tell me you need me, tell me to stay
[Bridge]
Shadows fade as dawn awakes,
New hopes rising, no more breaks
Walking through the fire, I emerge anew,
Every scar a story, every pain a clue
[Final Chorus]
Tell me you need me, tell me to stay
Look in my eyes, say what you have to say
Not giving up, not giving in
I made mistakes, it’s not the end
Tell me how to love you,
I’ll do whatever I have to
So, tell me you need me, tell me to stay
[Powerful resolution]
Forever moving forward,
no turning back,
Finally, I’ve made this house my own.
