tell me what to say

tell me what to say

and i will say it to you

i take one for the heartbreak

one for the headache

two for the constant tears

i take one for the blindness

one for the foolishness

trying to keep you here

i would stop waiting

stop crying

stop breathing in

too

while you stay away so long

i would stop calling

stop writing

stop faking

stop denying you're as good as gone

but i dunno

so you just tell me what to say

and i will say it to you

i would do it for you

i would burn this house down

tell me what to say

and i will say it to you

i would do what you do

i would burn us to the ground

even on weekdays

even on sunday

even in the blackest nights

even when you touch me

i know you don't love me

and

uh

can't make it right

i would stop waiting

stop walking

stop trying to start you talking

or say your old goodbyes

i would stop drinking

stop feeling

break down and start believing

you might change your mind

well

i dunno

so you just tell me what to say

and i will say it to you

i would do it for you

i would burn this house down

tell me what to say

and i will say it to you

i would do what you do

i would burn us to the ground

hey

well

i dunno

so you just tell me what to say

and i'll say it to you

i would do it for you

i would burn this house down

tell me what to say

and i will say it to you

i would do it for you

i would burn us to the ground
