Tell Me Something

"Tell Me Something, Darling..."


Are you happy where you are?
Or just happy where you're not?
Does everything you have,
Outweigh everything you never got?
And if you're answer's no,
Then I want you to be sure
There's a part of you that knows,
You deserve everything and more
'Cause the light in your eyes is an ember
Dancing on a sweet candle stem
Doing its' best to just survive
Inside a brutal, unforgiving wind
While knowing most people go to church
Believing they have a need to pray
But the answer to all of mine
Is sadly lying down each day
Next to a childish, little boy
Living in the guise of a man
And she truly handles this
In the best fashion that she can
But friend, I don't believe
That we are meant to live
Chained to those who just refuse
To give all that they have to give
So what's wrong with searching
For all that you need
When there's a hole in your heart
That this person won't feed
So, tell me something, darling...
Are you happy where you are?
Or just happy where you're not?
Have all your dreams given way,
To just accepting what you've got?
And if you're answer's no,
Then I want you to be sure
There's a part of you that knows,
You deserve everything and more
And the lesson we have to learn,
Is that there's always truth inside of lies
But yet, the sky still begins to burn
When the sun decides to rise
Whether it wants to or not.
