Tell You
Brittini Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and I made this much love
So real and so strong
Tell me baby why'd we wait so long
If you wanna know the honest truth
I've been feeling so detached from you
I didn't know how much I needed this
Baby you have been so missed
I love you; I believe in you
I'm so proud of you
And I need you so much
And I'm sorry I don't tell you enough
I never want to face an empty bed
All because of something left unsaid
I know how much it means to me
When you tell me I'm the one you need
So baby let the world just disappear
Concentrate on what we're doing here
I could stay forever just like this
Till you could taste the words on my lips
I love you
I believe in you
I'm so proud of you
And I need you so much
And I'm sorry I don't tell you enough
In the middle of the night
In the middle of your life
In the middle of a crowded day
When you think nobody cares and you think nobody's there
You think I might be slippin away all you've gotta do is say
I love you
I believe in you
I'm so proud of you so proud
And I need you so much
And I'm sorry I don't tell you enough
I love you; I believe in you; I'm so so proud of you
Oh, I love you and I believe in you and I'm so proud of you
Oh baby, I just gotta tell you
I believe in you and I love you I do
I just gotta tell you
