Tell Me a Tale Lyrics by AJ Odneal

Tell Me A Tale

2014

[Verse 1]
You've never said my name
As hours turned to days
And days into years
My name and your voice has never graced my ears
[Refrain]
When it's time to sleep
I'll need something I can keep
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me a tale
Of shows with remasters
Cliffhangers, disasters
Of ancestry, homeland
Christians and Romans
[Chorus]
Tell me what this is all about
You've more scars than I can count
And maybe, I'll maybe, I'll maybe, I'll maybe
I'll believe without doubt
[Verse 2]
You never spoke of love
As hatred dwelt in our abode
Thе hate turned to something you could loathе
With a heart too grotesque to hide or to cloak
[Refrain]
When it's time to sleep
I'll need something I can keep
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me a tale
Of bad men with Bibles
Of broadway revivals
Of men and of women
Of anything that you can
[Chorus]
Tell me that you are gonna quit
Addiction don't play fair
And maybe, I'll maybe, I'll maybe, I'll maybe
I'll believe if I dare
[Verse 3]
You never asked for help
And I never questioned your health
You've been a liar since youth
And I just assumed that your words were the truth
[Refrain]
When it's time to sleep
I'll need something I can keep
So tell me a tale
Tell me a tale
[Refrain]
When it's time to sleep
I'll need something I can keep
{Pre-chorus]
So tell me a tale
Of lovebirds and icebergs
Of white lies that don't hurt
Of mystery and mistakes
Adventure without heartbreak
[Chorus]
Tell me that you are gonna live
'Cause anyone can die
And maybe, I'll maybe, I'll maybe, I'll maybe
I'll believe you this time
[Outro]
When it's time to sleep
I'll need something I can keep
So tell me a tale
Of you
