Tell Me

Look, I ain't tryna pressure you, I need to understand,

What's the space between a feeling and a plan?

We get close, then you pull back, now I'm reading every sign,

Trying not to overthink the things you leave behind.

Just give me the truth, even if it cuts deep,

Can't build something real when you don't know what we keep.

I can meet you halfway, I can give you what you need,

But I can't keep moving blind when I don't know where you lead.

You say, “Give it time”—how much time is that?

You say, “Let's just see”—but where we going with that?

I ain't asking for a label, ain't asking for your life,

I'm just asking if we're worth one real try.

Tell me where to turn,

Your love I wanna earn.

I'm caught up in these deep waters,

And I'm scared of watching it burn.

I ain't tryna come on strong,

I just need to know where I belong.

If you want me, say it.

If you don't, let me learn.

I ain't asking for much—

Just tell me where to turn.

Maybe I'm too honest, maybe you don't speak that way,

Maybe what I'm feeling ain't something you can say.

But I'm tired of guessing every time you come around,

Looking for an answer in the silence and the sound.

One day we're close, next day you're gone,

I'm trying to stay patient, but my heart keeps holding on.

I don't need forever, don't need guarantees,

Just tell me what you feel when you're standing next to me.

I can respect your space, I can respect your pace,

But I can't keep fighting for a spot I can't replace.

If we're building, let me build. If we're leaving, let me go.

Just don't leave me stuck between the yes and the no.

Tell me where to turn,

Your love I wanna earn.

I'm caught up in these deep waters,

And I'm scared of watching it burn.

I ain't tryna come on strong,

I just need to know where I belong.

If you want me, say it.

If you don't, let me learn.

I ain't asking for much—

Just tell me where to turn.

We don't gotta solve forever tonight,

Just stop running from what's right.

Talk to me straight, I can take what you say,

I'd rather hurt from the truth than lose another day.

Tell me where to turn,

Your love I wanna earn.

I'm caught up in these deep waters,

And I'm scared of watching it burn.

Don't leave me hanging on,

Don't leave me wondering what went wrong.

If you want me, say it.

If you don't, let me learn.

I ain't asking for much—

Just tell me where to turn.

Tell me where to turn.

Tell me what you want.

I can handle the truth—

I just can't handle the front.

If there's something between us,

Don't leave it in the air.

Don't promise me forever—

Just show me that you're there.
