- Tell Me Lyrics / with translationsShe said she loved me, all night long,
I couldn't help but let her string my heart along,
I knew better, I still do,
But I'm not the first man, who's ever played the fool.
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows,
well then tell me.
I won't point the finger, but I'll take the blame,
Cause I saw her comin' from a million miles away,
I should have faught the feelin,
But I gave in, cause those lyin' blue eyes kept pullin'
me back in.
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows, well
then tell me.
Oooohhhhhhhhh...
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows,
well then tell me, Oh why can't you just tell me.
I couldn't help but let her string my heart along,
I knew better, I still do,
But I'm not the first man, who's ever played the fool.
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows,
well then tell me.
I won't point the finger, but I'll take the blame,
Cause I saw her comin' from a million miles away,
I should have faught the feelin,
me back in.
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows, well
then tell me.
Oooohhhhhhhhh...
So tell why do I keep holdin' on,
Oh why do I keep starin' down the barrel of a loaded gun,
So tell me why can't I just let go, somebody knows,
well then tell me, Oh why can't you just tell me.

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the song 'Tell Me' by Jake Owen tells the story of a person who is having a hard time quitting a toxic relationship even though he/she knows it is a bad thing. The imagery of 'staring down the barrel of a loaded gun' implies that there is danger and risk involved in hanging on to something that is a ruin, thus questioning one’s inability to quit the cycle of pain and deceit. The tell me lyrics' main topic is sagacity about the whole area of love: heartbreak, angst, despair, and reflection.
