Even If It Hurts
Tei Shi Lyrics

What did you expect from me
What were your expectations of me?

Or were you blind to see?
Did you not see what I laid out for you?

Everything I laid out at your feet
All of me I offered to you

Break it down for me
Please explain to me

Two AM I'm waiting for a leap
In the middle of the night I yearn for a sign of commitment

Of faith from you to me
A gesture of trust and commitment from you to me

Sweat drips from my apathy
I am paralyzed by the uncertainty of your feelings

I wanna wake up in the middle of the night with you
I desire to be entwined with you in the depths of the night

I'll put it all out on table if you ask me too
I'm willing to reveal all my vulnerabilities, if only you'd ask

And I don't tell you where to go
I allow you to make your own choices and decisions

And who to love that ain't me (that ain't me)
I refrain from controlling who you should or shouldn't love

All I want is honesty
My only hope is for you to be truthful with me

Even if it hurts, baby
I'm willing to accept the pain that might come with honesty

Even if we lost, baby
Even if we have to let go, I'm willing to face that fear

Say you wanna go
Tell me if you want to walk away

Say you wanna stay
Tell me if you want to keep us together

Say you wanna leave, lately
Have you been considering leaving me recently?

Tell me what you need, baby
What do you desire, what can I offer to keep you?

I don't wanna feel crazy
I don't want to be left questioning the state of our relationship

I just don't mind (ooh)
I can tolerate the weight of your decision

What is it you see (see), what you wanna keep?
What do you cherish, what are your desires?

I've been on a high, I can never fight
Your presence fills my heart, I could never resist you

Ripping from the seams, what do you believe?
Are we coming apart at the seams? What do you truly believe?

(?) What else do you know?
What else have I yet to learn?

Come here boy
Listen to me

Even if it hurts, baby (even if it hurts)
Even if it causes us pain, we need to be honest with each other

Say you wanna go
Tell me if you want to leave

Say you wanna stay
Tell me if you want to remain with me

Say you wanna leave, lately
Have you been considering ending our relationship?

Tell me what you need, baby
What do you require, what can I offer to keep you?

I don't want to feel crazy
I don't want to be left in a state of uncertainty regarding our relationship
