Ask
Love And The Outcome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought a lot today
I turn it down and it's in my way
And it's fine to realize that you're mine when it's everything I know
Something's got to give
You find a life maybe you don't wanna live
And I'm telling you over and over
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
What I need now
Is a day
I do it all to get you off
Still you tell me I don't know
This love is not the same
You turn away when you're calling out my name
And you're trying to prove you're right
So I just don't come home
Something here is wrong
Why the hell have I been holding on this long
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
What's that you said
Where have you been
Why don't you just leave me alone
If you can't take what I can give
Why don't you just leave me alone
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
What's that you said
Where have you been
Why don't you just leave me alone
If you can't take what I can give
Why don't you just leave me alone
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't ask me to try
So just leave me alone

In time I've been doing fine when I'm on the radio
I've been good lately when I'm playing music publicly
I thought a lot today
I spent a lot of time reflecting on things
I turn it down and it's in my way
When I turn off the radio, my thoughts interrupt me
And it's fine to realize that you're mine when it's everything I know
It's good to know that you're mine when that's all I'm familiar with
Something's got to give
There has to be a change or resolution to our problems
You find a life maybe you don't wanna live
You discover a lifestyle that you don't actually want
And I'm telling you over and over
I'm repeatedly trying to communicate this to you
Don't ask me to slow down now
Don't tell me to stop or take it easy
Don't ask me to try to tell you everything
Don't expect me to explain every detail
What I need now
What I require at the moment
Is a day
Is some time to myself
I do it all to get you off
I do everything to please you
Still you tell me I don't know
But you criticize me anyway
This love is not the same
Our love has changed
You turn away when you're calling out my name
You ignore me when you call my name
And you're trying to prove you're right
You're attempting to show that you're correct
So I just don't come home
So I avoid coming home
Something here is wrong
Something in our relationship is amiss
Why the hell have I been holding on this long
Why have I been staying in this unhealthy relationship for so long?
What's that you said
What did you just say
Where have you been
Where have you been lately
Why don't you just leave me alone
Why don't you give me some space
If you can't take what I can give
If you can't handle what I'm able to offer
So just leave me alone
Then just leave me be

What do you need?
What fears do you hide?
When you're on your knees
What tears do you cry?
Our Father knows your deepest hurt
Before you've ever said a word
But still He wants to hear your voice
There is a purpose in our seeking
There is a light beyond this door
We have a promise in our knocking
He wants to give us so much more
If we just ask, ask
If we just ask, ask
What's on your heart?
What dreams do you hold?
When do you start?
How do you let go?
Our Father knows your deepest hurt
Before you've ever said a word
But still He wants to hear your voice
There is a purpose in our seeking
There is a light beyond this door
We have a promise in our knocking
He wants to give us so much more
If we just ask, ask
If we just ask, ask
We'll find what we're looking for
We'll walk through the open door
His promise, His presence
Of this we can be sure
There is a purpose in our seeking
There is a light beyond this door
We have a promise in our knocking
He wants to give us so much more
We will find purpose in our seeking
There is a light beyond this door
We have a promise in our knocking
We will find all we need and more
If we just ask, ask
If we just ask, ask
If we just ask, ask
If we just ask, ask
When you're on your knees
What tears do you cry?

I have a disorder called tourettes, it is hard and sometimes I feel like giving up but I know that God has a reason and a plan for my life and he does for you to so no matter what you are going though do not give up.
@Edizzy
God is with you & has a reason for everything. Do not give up, Cling to God & He'll comfort you :)
