Tell Them.
I died a thousand deaths when I thought it was goodbye.
Well I had nothing left- but a million tears to cry.
This heart that beats inside me just seemed to stop for a while.
When everything is broken, there's no reason left to smile.
I wondered if you hurt for me too,
but I had no way to know.
But deep inside I knew,
you would never let me go.
Though people built them walls between us,
I guess we'd have to learn to climb.
They locked us behind bars,
although love was our only crime.
So tell them we're in love,
tell them you need me,
baby- tell them I'm the one,
that you love completely.
So tell them you're staying,
they can't keep us apart,
baby I'm praying,
that they can't control your heart.
Just prove that I mean more,
than all the problems they're creating,
show them what loves for,
by conquering the hatred.
Tell them we're happy,
we're unbreakable!
Show them baby,
that they can't break our love.
