Tell Me Everything
Just Surrender Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one more hour
And I'll know the truth that separates the right From all the wrong feelings that
You have about me your grace is distracting me

White out the memories
Of each sarcastic shot you took at me
With your hurtful tones and biting melodies
Just one more outburst
And I'm leaving you like you left me one year ago
And I know that this could never be an apology from you

A meaning buried
Under shuttered breathing
It's taking too long for me to spit it out

Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight
Tell me that you won't just fade away
Cross my heart and hope to die tonight I'll dream my pain away

I'll let the lack of words speak for me
The way I am I can't express or understand
I'll take the time now to make you see (you see)

Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight
Tell me that you won't just fade away
Cross my heart and hope to die tonight I'll dream my pain away

I see through your lies, they're bleeding from your eyes

Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight
Tell me that you won't just fade away
Clutch my heart and hope to die I'm on my way

Tell me everything will be alright
Close your eyes and dream of me tonight




Tell me that you won't just fade away
Cross my heart and hope to die tonight I'll dream my pain away
