I´m Confessin
Lizz Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me do you love me too?
I'm confessing that I need you
Honest I do
I need you every moment
In your eyes I read such strange things
But your lips deny they're true
Making me blue
I'm afraid someday you'll leave me
Saying can we still be friends
If you go, you know you'll grieve me
All in life, on you depends
Am I guessing that you love me
Dreamin' dreams of you in vain
I'm confessing that I love you
Over and over again
I'm confessing that I love you
Tell me do you love me too?
I'm confessing that I need you
Honest I do
Oh oh oh
Honest I do
Oh oh oh
I really do
