Lyrics

Tell me, baby, tell me slowly

Tell me, baby, communicate slowly

All the things you couldn't show me

Reveal the aspects you couldn't display

Tell me one more time before I leave

Repeat it once more before I depart

Now I see you never knew me

Now I realize you never understood me

Look at you, you look right through me

You don't acknowledge my presence

Tell me one more time before I go

Tell me again before I go


I don't believe you when you

I doubt your sincerity when you

Say you love me most

Claim to love me the most

And when you tell me I'm the only one

Assert that I'm the only one

And I can't feel you when you're

I can't sense your presence when you're

Touchin' me and tellin' me

Physically close and expressing

That this time you want all of me

Insisting that this time you want my entirety

And you won't hear me when I'm

You ignore me when I'm

Tellin' you it's all or nothin'

Telling you it's all or nothing

All or nothin', baby please

Emphasizing the plea for commitment

Let go of me, let go of me

Pleading to release me


When you say you love me, baby

When you express love, reveal your face

Let me see your face

Highlighting the importance of sincerity

And when you say you'll never leave me

When you promise never to leave me

Know it's all in vain

Understanding that it's all futile

And these memories, they haunt me

Past memories continue to trouble me

Wherever I go

Persisting wherever I go


Tell me, baby, say it slowly

Repeat the communication slowly

All the things you never showed me

Express the things you never revealed

Tell me one more time before I leave

Tell me once more before I depart

Now I see you hardly know me

Now I see you barely know me

I learned your way, I learned so slowly

I adapted to your ways, but you learned slowly

Take another shot, but you'll miss me

Take another chance, but you'll miss me


I don't believe you when you

I question your sincerity when you

Tell me that you love me most

Declare that you love me the most

And when you tell me I'm the only one

Insist that I'm the only one

And I can't feel you when you're

I can't sense your presence when you're

Kissin' me and tellin' me

Kissing me and telling me

That all my fears of him I had

Revealing my fears of another

And you won't hear me when I

You won't listen when I

Tell you that it's all or nothin'

Tell you it's all or nothing

All or nothin', baby please

Reiterating the plea for commitment

Let go of me

Begging to be released


When you say you love me, baby

When you claim to love me, show your face

Let me see your face

Emphasizing the need for authenticity

And when you say you'll never leave me

When you promise never to leave me

Know that it's all in vain

Recognizing that it's all in vain

And these memories, they haunt me

Past memories persistently haunt me

Wherever I go

Continuing wherever I go
