Don’t tell me if it hurts
Nate Gerry sent me these wonderful lyrics to create a song. Together with I AM MEADOWS, we composed and arranged a heartfelt pop rock ballad. It is part of my album “Going My Way”.
Should I tell you how I feel?
Or keep this fantasy going?
Should I believe that we’re in love
Live in the never knowing?
Does your heart skip a beat
Or do you think of someone else?
Am I too young to be your man
Too soon for wedding bells?
Don’t tell me if it hurts
Don’t tell me if it’s true
Don’t tell me anything unless you love me
If it hurts
Don’t tell me if it’s true
Don’t tell me anything unless you want it too
I crave the smile on your lips
When I am cracking a joke
I love you looking at my way
Even when you won’t no
I feel that giggle in my chest
When words caught up in my throat
I think you see me as a friend
I pray to God that you don’t
Don’t tell me if it hurts
Don’t tell me if it’s true
Don’t tell me anything unless you love me
If it hurts
Don’t tell me if it’s true
Don’t tell me anything unless you want it too
I am under a spell I cast upon myself
I want flesh and blood and no imagination
The only way to escape
Is to risk it all
Don’t tell me if it hurts
Don’t tell me if it’s true
Don’t tell me anything unless you love me
If it hurts
Don’t tell me if it’s true
Don’t tell me anything unless you want it too
