Tell Me Why

Stefanie Bennett

Tell me I'm diving in

You speak in ways that pull me closer
Questions hanging in the space between
Every answer feels unfinished
Like something hidden underneath

I search your face for understanding
Read on signs you never show
There's a story in your posture
That your voice won't let me know

If this feeling has a reason
Let it find a way to show
If your heart has said I'm leaving
Tell me now before you go

Tell me why do you love me
Tell me why you wanna stay
Tell me what's holding you here in this place
Tell me why do you love me
Tell me why you wanna stay
Give me truth I could finally face

We circle around the same confusion
Like words afraid to leave your lips
I feel the weight of what you're hiding
And every part that gently slips

You stand so close, I feel so distant
Like you're balancing me
Between the comfort that you're feeling
And a silent, careful grin

If your heart is torn in pieces
Let me see what lies below
You're standing on a crust
Gonna tell me why you need to know

Tell me why do you love me
Tell me why you wanna stay
Tell me what's holding you here in this place
Tell me why do you love me
Tell me why you wanna stay
Give me truth I could finally face

Every second filled with tension
Every word we never choose
Hanging on your explanation
With so much have to lose

Tell me why you love me
Tell me why you wanna stay
Tell me what's holding you here in this place
Tell me why you love me
Tell me why you wanna stay
Give me the truth I could finally face

I'm listening without resistance
Just tell me what your heart can say
