Lyrics

Tell Me the Worst

Show me your hands Your nails Your scars Show me where it hurts Show me the wounds The cuts The trails That lead back to where it happened first I only wanna see you I only wanna know Who you really are So tell me the worst I'll tell you mine I got close before But I turn back every time It hurts I know It's the hardest thing you'll ever have to do So tell me the worst It's your only hope Don't go back again Don't save yourself from falling Imagine we drove across this country But didn't quite make it to the sea Imagine we're halfway through a movie And then you just ran out on me If that's all you're gonna give me Is that all you wanna take 'Cos that's just not enough So tell me the worst I'll tell you mine I got close before But I turn back every time It hurts I know It's the bravest thing you'll ever have to do So fake your words Have you just put off What you should have done years ago? I wrote this song about you But you know it's also where I fall down Why don't I cool out I show my worst I got close before But I turn back every time It hurts I know It's the bravest thing you'll ever have to do So tell me the worst I'll tell you mine I got close before But I turn back every time It hurts I know It's the hardest place you'll ever have to go So tell me the worst It's your only hope Don't go back again Don't save yourself from falling Tell me the worst Tell me the worst
