Tell Me (TR 25/02/01)

All I ask is sincerity
And a chance to prove
That I mean what I'm saying
And I've got just as much lose

Whatever you offer of yourself
Even if it's your heart on the line
I'm ready and willing to match it
In fact I've already given you mine

I'm down on my knees, I'm praying
That what you're saying to me is true
Can't you hear me begging
Don't let fear get the better of you

I believe you want what I'm offering
But you're afraid of opening your heart
And that alone will end this love
Before it's even had a chance to start

I know where it is you're coming from
You know, I've been hurt as well
But passing up a chance at love
Is my idea of hell

So I get hurt an awful lot
Probably more than I should
But at the end of the day I know
That I did everything I could

Can you see why I can't just let you go
Why I'm willing to put up a fight
Why letting this chance pass us both by
Couldn't possibly be right

If I have got it all wrong
If you care nothing for me
Then please forgive my arrogance
And I will let you be

Otherwise tell me what I can do to prove
That I'm worth the risk you'd take
I'll do anything you want
To prove that I'm no fake

That is all that I can give to you
A chance at love and my heart to break
There's nothing more I can offer
The next move is yours to make

So tell me honestly before I go
Do you want to hold me near?
Or was everything you said a lie?
Or will you just submit to fear?
