lyrics

Tell Him You Love Him

He’s got ya split open wide,
He’s got ya ripped up inside,
He’s got ya tellin’ him you love him.

He’s got your heart askin’ why,
Why ya stay by his side,
Why you keep tellin’ him you love him.

Well what do you do,
When no one’s told you?
Well what do you do,
When no one’s told you?

Ya tell him that you love him.

He’s got ya up every night,
Got you not leavin’ his sight,
He’s got ya tellin’ him you love him.

He’s got ya sick of thinkin’ twice,
Think you could use some advice,
Cus you keep tellin’ him you love him.

Well what do you do,
When no one’s told you?
Aw what do you do,
When no one’s told you?

Ah you tell him that you love him
And then leave him.

When you look into his eyes,
And all you recognize
Is you’ve been the victim of his own demise,
Ya tell him that you love him,
And then leave him.

When ya see his face,
And all ya see is a disgrace,
That’s when ya know it’s time to leave this place,
So ya tell him that you love him,
And then leave him.

Just cus you picked him
Doesn’t mean ya have to stay
And stay a victim.
You’d do well to obey this dictum,
And tell him that you love him,
And goddamn please leave him.

It’s time,
Best to lose in love than to lose your mind.
When you’re bein’ treated so unkind aq
Ya tell him that you love him
And then ya leave him!
Leave him!
Leave him!
Leave him!
