[Verse 1]
I want you in the worst way
Even on your worst day
But you left me stranded
Open arms and empty-handed

[Chorus]
Please tell the truth
Tell me now
Tell me how
Is this over?
Is this over?
Please tell the truth
Tell me now
Tell me how
Is this over?
Is this over?

[Post-Chorus]
And she said
Yeah
And she said
Yeah

[Bridge]
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
I'm waiting to see you cry
Let me (let me)
Let me
Through the darkest and brightest rise
Grow me (grow me)
Grow me
Oh, push me to be a better guy

[Chorus]
But please, tell the truth
Tell me now
Tell me how
Is this over?
Is this over?
Please tell the truth
Tell me now
Tell me how
Is this over?
Is this over?

[Post-Chorus]
And she said
Yeah
And she said
Yeah

[Verse 2]
You love and you can't deny
And you try so hard, you try
But it's me and you, not I

[Outro]
Please me (please me)
Please me
And just tell me what I want to hear
And she said
Yeah
