You Can Tell Me

You can tell me that you're anxious,
you wonder what is next.
Right now you don't know anything, or what you should expect.

You can tell me that reality's made you sad,
your expectations have surpassed it.
But is what's right in front of you really just that bad?

You can tell me that you're happy,
somebody makes you smile,
so much you're getting married in a little while.

But...

You can't tell me you love me
and make it sound routine.
I'd rather be ignored than be told what you don't mean.
