Tell me in English Throw the words at me hard Don’t watch me flinch It’s just an inbuilt reaction And doesn’t mean much But tell me in English So that it doesn’t hurt as much The scars don’t last a lifetime When you tell me like this They don’t burn deep inside They fade away fast Don’t tell me in whispers With the softest touch With the scent of your skin As you pull me close Don’t let my finger Running through your hair Discover your betrayal The extent of your lies The depths, the highs Please tell me in English Just don’t use that other tongue That one we spoke In the sacred moments In the darkest times When we barely knew Where one ended and the other began Hush, don’t even start Don’t let a single word in that tongue Escape past your lips tonight Just tell me in English And I’ll be alright I’m sure I’ll be alright (April 16, 2008) |
