Tell me again what I should believe
Right now I feel I've been left out too long in the rain
Show me what you've got up that sleeve
Birds on blue velvet oh god am I going insane
Recycling this pain
Just tell me again.

Tell me again how I'm strong and I'm tough;
Made me just perfect to quietly keep on the side
What a shame I was never enough
You wouldn't leave her, you dragged me along for the ride
Broke something inside
Just tell me again.

Chorus
I loved you once, I loved you then
My darling, my angel, my lover, my friend
You threw it away, what more can I say
Just say when - then tell me again.

Tell me again why I hold on so tight,
Why I can't leave us as history, nicely alone
Why I wake up in tears in the night
Dreams of abandonment, friends being kind on the phone
Left to hurt on my own
Tell me again.

(instrumental bridge)

Chorus

I loved you once, I loved you then
My darling, my angel, were you ever my friend?
You threw me away, what more can I say
Just say when - and tell me again

Maybe it's timOut late, out too long, medicating in your corner
Funeral for your own life, looks like you're the only mourner
New moon, old story, walk away, no guts no glory
Broken bells still ringing like a chime
I hope you make it home somewhere in time.

So lost, the night comes in, dulling down the old regret
Maybe there's a way back out and I just haven't found it yet
Soft sell, softer touch, you never really asked for much
Why was it always someone else's dime?
I hope you make it home somewhere in time.

BRIDGE
Falling on my face, I saw you sprawling on the ground
No hint of grace, only you and I around
I tried to catch and hold you
Protect you and enfold you
Instead I watched you break without a sound.

Old wounds, older scars, long ago they meant survival
Now they're only puckered skin, grey as ash, no hope of revival
We pull down our sleeves, cover up, so we believe
Try and salvage something from the grime
I hope you make it home somewhere in time.

Wake up,it's the witching hour: was that your voice calling my name?
Light fails, darkness falls, just me left to carry the blame
Quiet ghosts and noisy dreams, nothing left but these extremes
The stairs were steep, we never made that climb
I hope you made it home somewhere in time
Meet me at the house somewhere in time

e I came out of the rain
Admit that there's light at the end of this tunnel I'm in
Is it the light of an oncoming train
Or maybe the first light of morning to show where I've been
As the heartstrings wear thin I could just let you win
Or I could just let you
tell me tell me tell me
tell me again
