Tift Merritt – Tell Me Something True lyrics

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

Tell me something true
Tell me something true
Oh, I have lost my way but when I find it
I’ll bring it to you

Yeah, I know 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
Now that it's made a fool of you?

Tell me something true
Tell me something true
Oh, I have lost my way but when I find it
I’ll bring it to you

Time’s gonna come here so remiss
He will forget my words, forget my kiss
You wanna love me, better take me like this
I think the best that I can do is

Tell you something true
I’ll tell you something true
Or I will lose my way but when I find it
I’ll bring it to you, I’ll bring it to you

I'm gonna lose my way
I'm gonna lose my way but when I find it
Oh baby, I’ll bring it to you

Tell me something true
Just tell me something true
Tell me something true
Just tell me something true

Oh, tell me something true
Tell me something true
