Mean It

before I AM

Say it like you mean it
but it’s the silence that kills me
I don’t know where we stand
and I’m okay with sitting
just not forever
I’m settling under your control
but can’t forever

Say it like you mean it
but I’m already melting
can’t get enough
the after moments that don’t suffice
Addicted to your good
but I need a little longer

Say it like you mean it
give me your pain and make me numb
hurt me with a burning passion
kiss me like you do all up on me
I need your desire
I need your reassurance
and your want to want to want me
and at the top of my breath
Find me peace
Find me gentle
Find me numb
and you’ll hear me say it like I mean it
