[Verse 1]
Like what you see
Love what you hear
Smile when you feel
My foolish tear

I'll break my silence now
Hold back my pride
I'll stake my claim on this
In me I'll confide

[Chorus]
Will you leave before the dawn (please tell me)
Will I push or do you fall (don't make me)
With the time you've had to learn (please tell me)
Some respect is all you'll earn

[Verse 2]
Try as I might
I've seen no light
Must I believe in this
You feed on greed

Sometimes I fight myself
Question my mind
Then I remember you
Boasting your find
[Chorus]
Will you leave before the dawn (please tell me)
Will I push or do you fall (don't make me)
With the time you've had to learn (please tell me)
Some respect is all you'll earn
Some respect is all you'll earn

[Bridge]
I'll break my silence now
What's there to hide
I'll stake my claim on this
Proof that you've lied

[Chorus]
Will you leave before the dawn (please tell me)
Will I push or do you fall (don't make me)
With the time you've had to learn (please tell me)
Some respect is all you'll earn

[Outro]
Please tell me
Don't make me
Please tell me
Don't make me
