Tell Me If You Love Me

[Verse 1]
Find me your way back home
Do you let it slip from you
Keys on the counter
Coat on the chair
But you feel a thousand miles away
You say this is not the end
You say this is the beginning
But I see your eyes drift past me
Like you’re already gone
[Chorus]
Tell me if you hate me
Tell me if you love me
Tell me if there’s something
Still beating in your chest
Tell me if you’re staying
Tell me if you’re leaving
Don’t leave me in the middle
Of a half-finished yes
[Verse 2]
Love will never fail
You said
But it’s fraying at the edges
We talk in circles
Sleep back to back
Pretending that the silence doesn’t hurt
Is this how the story goes
Or are we scared to turn the page
I can take the truth tonight
Just don’t turn away
[Chorus]
Tell me if you hate me
Tell me if you love me
Tell me if there’s something
Still beating in your chest
Tell me if you’re staying
Tell me if you’re leaving
Don’t leave me in the middle
Of a half-finished yes
[Bridge]
This is not the end
This is the beginning
If you say my name
Say you’re still in it (oh)
[Chorus]
Tell me if you hate me
Tell me if you love me
Tell me if there’s something
Still beating in your chest
Tell me if you’re broken
Tell me if you’re healing
Don’t leave me in the middle
Tell me if you love me

Moody midtempo pop with male vocals; muted electric guitar and soft synth pads in the verses, warm bass and tight drums lifting the chorus. Hook leans on stacked harmonies and a lingering delay on key phrases. Second chorus adds airy backing vocals and subtle piano doubles for an emotional lift, ending on a spacious, echoing repeat of the title.
