You Told Me
Unraveling Promises: The Bittersweet Tale of 'You Told Me'
Lyrics
You told me you'd always stay, you told me!
You assured me of your everlasting commitment.
You told me you'd never stray, you told me!
You promised to remain faithful and not wander.
All these things you said you said sincerely.
You claimed sincerity in all the things you uttered.
Still I am leaving you in spite of what you told me.
Despite your assurances, I am choosing to leave.
I've heard things that did not match what you told me.
I've come across information inconsistent with your promises.
And of your love that would not last as you told me.
Concerns arose about the longevity of your professed love.
Forwarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving.
Being forewarned, it's painful, but I'm choosing to depart.
I may be wrong I can't love what I'm just hearing.
Though I might be mistaken, I can't love based on mere words.
Times have made me shy
Over time, I've become hesitant or reserved.
Of all the things you're saying
I'm cautious about the things you're expressing.
Time have made me shy
Time has made me wary of the games played by girls.
Of girls and all the games they are playing.
I'm cautious of the games played by girls.
Someday I may see the truth of what you told me.
In the future, I might understand the truth of your statements.
I may find I left too soon and that you told me.
I might realize I departed prematurely, as per your words.
Only things that you were honestly feeling.
Only interested in your genuine emotions, not just words.
I must have more to love than what you told me.
I need more in love than what you verbally conveyed.
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me.
Emphasizing the need for a deeper love than what was promised.
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me.
Reiterating the desire for a more profound love than your assurances.
