Something True from Play Me by Katie Oates

Lyrics
Tell me something true—
a promise between me and you:
a lover’s first gaze,
broken-hearted clichés,
long, lonely Valentine days
Won’t you open your heart?
Let me in
Tell me something real—
something only you feel:
how your heels clicked the floor
when you walked out that door—
a silence that started to roar
But the words fly around
without making a sound
crowding near
with anger and fear
Then dry up in the air
in unspoken despair
like rain that never hits ground
Won’t you open your heart?
Open your heart
Open your heart
Let me in
Please tell me tonight
before I give up this fight
Tell me
something
true
