Tess Don't Tell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The day you start to doubt it
Is the day you don't get through
He doesn't want to talk about it
He says it feels so good just to be with you
And all this time it's still on your mind
You got to learn to have faith sometimes
Careful now, when the truth comes out
You'll be gone, you're the one he depends on
Tess don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Shhhh, don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Tess don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Shhhh, don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Drive into the darkness
The night stretches out ahead
The truth hits you the hardest
All you should have done
All you should have said
The more he hears, the more he tries
Keep you secret safe inside
He can't help what he's become
And now you're gone,
You're the one he depends on
Tess don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Shhhh, don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Tess don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
Shhhh, don't tell
It's just for you, it's not for anybody else
