Persuasion

Write it all down

Tell me the truth

Is this it?

Spill it out in cursive

And I'll hold my breathe

It's been 8 years

In the making

But no regrets

You pierce my soul

I'm half agony, half hope

Stop pretending to think

God can let you go

When we know damn well

That I won't

I was persuaded

You were persuaded

We were persuaded by them

Let's not lie to each other again

Cause you are a constant

I can't decipher

You're in my head

Just ask me and I'll tell you

With my eyes wide shut

Stop pretending to think

I can let you go

When you know damn well

That I won't

Does it seem sincere to say

That I'm in love

I'm zapped here

All alone all alone

Let's make this work

This time, please?

Let's make this work

This time

Let's make this work

This time please

Let's make this work

This time
