Strangefruit - Tell Me
There's a light burning in me
Waits for love expectantly
Feels so far from home
Further than I've ever known
What a choice to have to make
One heart rends the other breaks
But I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Tell me that you love me
Tell me you'll forgive me
Everything that I say
Will somehow comfort you
Cos I'm dying tonight
As I stay by your side
Won't you just hold me tight
Will I ever be enough for you
dying inside
As I lay down my life
Will we ever be alright
Will I ever be enough for you
Crazy how our dream has failed
To guide me through
the gates of hell
All hope has drained from me
You try to find
the strength to leave
Slowly now the flame's expired
Moving to the last few hours
We finally reach the end
And no longer can pretend
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Every word that I say
becomes a cradle song
Tell me all the time
Tell me all the time
That your love's strong as mine
I tell you all the time
Tell you all the time
That your love's good as mine
And I'm dying tonight
As I lay down my life
Will we ever be alright
Will I ever be enough for you
dying inside
As I lay down my life
Will it ever make it right
Will I never be enough for you
Tell me all the time
I won't let you down
Tell me all the time
I won't let you down
Tell me all the time
I won't let you down
That your love's good as mine
Waits for love expectantly
Feels so far from home
Further than I've ever known
What a choice to have to make
One heart rends the other breaks
But I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Tell me that you love me
Tell me you'll forgive me
Everything that I say
Will somehow comfort you
Cos I'm dying tonight
As I stay by your side
Won't you just hold me tight
Will I ever be enough for you
dying inside
As I lay down my life
Will we ever be alright
Will I ever be enough for you
Crazy how our dream has failed
To guide me through
the gates of hell
All hope has drained from me
You try to find
the strength to leave
Slowly now the flame's expired
Moving to the last few hours

And no longer can pretend
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me
Every word that I say

Tell me all the time
Tell me all the time
That your love's strong as mine
I tell you all the time
Tell you all the time
That your love's good as mine
And I'm dying tonight
As I lay down my life
Will we ever be alright
Will I ever be enough for you
dying inside
As I lay down my life
