Tell me something, tell me something dear
when your arms are weak, and you go back to sleep
will you die alone?
But I'll tell you darling, tell you while I'm here
Things aren't what they seem, you are a beauty queen
who denies her throne
Tell me something, tell me something dear
when you were watching stars, and the speeding cars
and the accident
Was there something, something that you feared?
Were you still confused, maybe a bit amused
or resilient?
Tell me something, tell me something dear
Have you received bad news, given a bad excuse
for you fucking up?
So let me make it, make it very clear
I will come back to stay, we'll look the other way
when we're out of luck
Your hands they held the air
How could I help but stare?
Your hands they held the air
How could I help but stare?
Tell me something, tell me something dear
About you secret wish, the first boy you kissed
And the rules you broke
While I hold you, hold you very near
You never seemed to care, completely unaware
that it was all a joke
Tell me something, tell me something dear
Of what you can't control, of what you swallowed whole
like a nihilist
Were you really, were you not sincere?
You told me anecdotes, you told me inside jokes
with an expected twist
Your hands they held the air
How could I help but stare?
Your hands they held the air
How could I help but stare?
