Tell Me You Know

        Do you know how deep your words cut me?
Do you know how much your voice haunts me?
Do you know how much I've bled for you?
Do you even know how much I love you?

Do you know why I cry when you yell at me?
Do you know why I run from you?
Do you know why I hide?
Do you even know why I walk away?

Do you know that I can't solve this by myself?
Do you know that I try my best?
Do you know that I don't want this?
Don't you know that I don't hate you?

Please tell me you know, that I don't hate you.
Please tell me you know, that I didn't choose this.
Please tell me you know, that I love you.
Please tell me that you know, I hurt and I bleed for you,
But I still love you--and I die to know you love me.
