Tell Me Something True Lyrics - Tift Merritt

I woke up beside you in the night afraid 

When I was young I was always brave 

I was going where the wind was born, 

I don't know where that is anymore 

Sometimes my heart feels so empty and mean, 

No blanket could warm, no water could clean, 

No direction on that same old wind 

Could give me passage through 

[Chorus] 

Tell me something true 

Tell me something true 

I have lost my way but when I find it, I'll bring it to you 

I've heard about sunshine and I know about May, 

But it doesn't always work out that way 

How do you give your heart back to the world 

That's made a fool of you? 

[Chorus] 

Time's gonna come here so remiss, 

He will forget my words, forget my kiss 

If you want to love me, better take me like this, 

I think the best that I can do is tell you something true 

[Chorus]
