Don't tell me

Don't tell me it will be ok
that's not what I need to hear,
tell me of your love for me
that you'll always hold me near.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when you can't walk in my shoes,
just understand the fear of things
and that it's so brand new.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when things get so much closer,
just hold me when I cry at night
reassure me your love's not over.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when you don't know how I feel,
just understand that something's wrong
and for me the pain is real.

Don't tell me it will be ok
that one day I won't walk,
just tell me that you understand
and that you're always here to talk.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when I'm feeling overwhelmed,
remind me of my many blessings
and that I do not live in hell.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when I feel that all is gone,
sit next to me and pray with me
no matter how short or long.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when nothing good seems near,
just help me build my faith and strength
remind me God is here.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when I only want to cry,
remind me of your love for me
and hold me forever tight.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when this you do not know,
let me deal in my own true way
cause soon my pain will go.

I only ask for your love and strength
to help me through this life,
but don't tell me it will be ok
because I feel that is a lie.

Don't tell me it will be ok
when my pain is so very real,
just tell me of your love for me
and that you will help me heal.
