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
