I posted the lyric to this over at the Lyrics Library section to a deafening silence LOL. I took that to mean that it must be perfect in every way, so I went ahead and recorded it. All comments and suggestions welcomed and appreciated. I've included the lyric below, but you don't really need it - I might not be much of a singer, but my diction is good 🙂
(EDIT: I changed the chorus melody. The new version is below this post)

Come Tell Me You Love Me
Come tell me you love me
Come tell me your lies
Come tell me the truth
If you can bear to see me cry
Though I say I believe you
I don’t believe me
I will see what my heart wants to see
A love that's as deep as the ocean
Is surely a good place to drown
Caught in the riptide of swirling emotions
Gasping for breath you go down (down down)
Look at those pretty bubbles
Nothing inside but your breath
To a fool they may seem to carry a dream
Up from the scary dark depths
Come tell me you love me
Come tell me your lies
Come tell me the truth
If you can bear to see me cry
I'll say I believe you
Though I don't believe me
I will see what my heart wants to see
A heart doesn't want to be broken
It will do all it can to stay safe
Choosing to hear in every word spoken
Just what it wants to believe
To a man who is not a strong swimmer, like me
Even the tiniest glimmer he sees
Of light from above may look like the love
That can save him ...if only...
Come tell me you love me
Come tell me your lies
Don't tell me the truth
If you don't want to see me cry
Though I say I believe you
I don’t believe me
I will see what my heart wants to see
I may or may not be an enigma

Someone pointed out that the chorus was almost identical to an old Scottish/Irish song. I was familiar with the song and it must have crept in and taken over. So I redid the chorus. The new version is below. I think it still works, but of course, I'm too close to it to be much of a judge.
