Tell Me So

If I broke your heart

but did not know

It's because you did not tell

me so

If your heart can break that

easily

Then I need to know my

crimes... you see

For I know your heart to be

so strong

And, if, my dear I find I

was wrong

 

Then you need to tell me

so

 

If your heart harbors fears of

people leaving

I did not know it by its

deep beating

It can happen to a heart

held open

It can be hurt and hardened

in the hopin'

that folks will simply

understand

That you placed your heart... unprotected

in their hand

 

You need to tell us so

 

Next time you give your love away

so fully

Remember you need not be in

such a hurry

Let the people you love so free and

so wild

Earn it first, your trust is as

a child's

A child will give from a place so

free

If you are doing that for all of

humanity

Be gentle with yourself as this love you

show

Remember, that you have to tell us

so
