Roy Orbison Inspired: "TELL ME"

Sometimes it's hard to let someone go after you've been in a relationship for a long time. This is a song about being drawn back into an ex's arms, but knowing you're being self-destructive and that the illusion can't - and won't - last.

"Tell Me" by GPM

Woman you left me without a tear to spare
Till you came back and you gave me more
Acting like you still care

So tell me
You really need me
And hold me even though
We know the truth
And say to me
You're still in love with me
'Cause darling
I love you

I know you're leaving
I know it's just one night
But is now something fleeting girl
Anymore than this life?
So tell me...

Doesn't matter if tomorrow finds you far away
Until the morning takes you there's no harm
For the sweetest of illusions is to be with you
Just lying here in your arms

So tell me...



Verse:

@just1again Hey thanks alot! We appreciate the confidence boost!

[SpellCasterOne]

Nice one glen.

[glennpagemusic]

@SpellCasterOne Thanks Greg! Yeah, some of the falsetto notes are a little rough, and it really should be a fully produced number, but I still like this one quite a bit. Thanks for listening.

[TheIToldYouSo]

such nice lyrics... I can't help (in my own pessimistic way) whether she's coming back... Makes it all the more bitter-sweet in my mind. I enjoyed this a lot.
