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 time 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
