Tell Me
Unanswered Queries in Relationships
Lyrics
One two
Introduction or counting off, preparing to start.
One two three four
Continuation of the preparation, setting the rhythm.
Tell me why I should not follow you
Seeking reasons not to follow someone.
Tell me why it's stupid
Questioning the perceived foolishness of a situation.
Words were foul when we were young
Reflecting on past words being offensive during youth.
I shouted now at somebody's ?
Unclear reference, possibly a memory or incident involving shouting.
Cry to people we don't relate to
Expressing emotions to people with whom there is no connection.
Tell me if I should not see a friend in you
Questioning the appropriateness of seeing a friend in someone.
Great expectations on the line
Feeling pressure or high expectations in a relationship.
What would you've wanted me to do
Wondering about the desired actions in a specific situation.
Tell me tell me
Repetition of the request for information or clarification.
My mistakes like these are paid for life
Acknowledging and possibly regretting past mistakes.
Once my world was good here
Recalling a time when the world felt positive or right.
Failure is proof that I'm not brave
Viewing failure as evidence of lacking courage.
You trusted that I would be on your side
Acknowledging a past trust that has now been broken.
Now I'm someone you don't relate to
Becoming someone that the other person can't relate to anymore.
Tell me if I should not see a friend in you
Repeating the question about the appropriateness of friendship.
Great expectations on the line
Feeling pressure or high expectations persisting in the relationship.
What would you've wanted me to do
Continuing to seek guidance on the desired actions.
Tell me tell me
Reiteration of the request for information or clarification.
Tell me tell me
Final repetition of the plea for answers or insights.
