Syd – Tell Me lyrics

Tell me why when you talk to me
You try to be so sweet to me
your words are candy dipped in wine
but i think I already know why

Just when I think that it's gonna be fine
you're gonna tell me "baby you were never mine"

don't you listen to a word I say??

don't sound so excited to see my face
fools like me have stock in this place
it's a place we call love it's a place you you love to hate
because you know when comes down to it it's not safe

just when you think that we're gonna be fine
our little world's gonna blow us out of our minds

are you listening to what I say??

in love's stinging shadow we do what we must
it's boy meets girl and we're left in the dust
while our hearts run ahead we're left behind
don't worry it happens all the time...

I know I sound like I know it all
but trust me you'll see when you feel that fall
it's bricks crumbling on rubble that's left of your soul
it's the feeling of dying in love's shallow hole

looking back it's not so bad
it's not what you got it's what you had

I wish I could hear what I say

Tell me how can you look at him
and not realize the position you put me in
