Tell Me About You
Kina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me about you, tell me your secrets
Tell me and tell nobody else
'Cause I can be jealous or I can be selfish
I can be more than you could bare
I wish it were easy, if lovin' was easy
I'd run my hands along your hair
And tell you about me, tell you about me
Lay down my guard for something else

What you got is what I want
What you are is what I need for me
What you got is what I want
What you are is what I need for me

What I need for me, what I need for me
What I need for me, what I need for me

Has no one told you you're beautiful?
You're all you need to be
Why you being so cynical of what you mean to me?
Has no one told you you're precious, told you're perfect
Told you you're all the world could want?
Baby, you're reckless, but you'll never wreck this
Baby, with me you've always won

What you got is what I want
What you are is what I need for me
What you got is what I want
What you are is what I need for me





What I need for me, what I need for me
What I need for me, what I need for me

Hey

Hey you

Yes you

You're the one reading this, aren't you?

Well, let me tell something you need to know

DON'T SCROLL please...

I know, I know I'm a stranger here on the internet

But, i guarantee you, you need to hear this

Are you in a dark place?

You aren't alone

We all were there, you know

Feeling suicidal?

Please don't

I think you matter

Even if i don't know you, i still think you matter

You're the best stranger I've met

So do something for me real quick

It's quick, i promise

Drink some water

WAIT ! DON'T WIPE THE WATER OFF YOUR LIPS YET!

Look see how they shine?

See how they twinkle and glimmer?

It's like you

Even in the tiniest bit of light, you shine

If you want to take your life , think about something

Out of the 7 billion + people on this earth...

Someone out there,they think you're perfect

Imagine how much you'd hurt them if you left...

Even if it seems unlikely, i can assure you

Someone out there ,they love you

So keep fighting

You'll win, no matter how hard it is

"Fight the storm to the rainbow". Remember that okay?

Good, I love you

Stay safe, handsome/beautiful :)
