She Tells You, You Tell Me

Graeham Goble
November 20th, 1986 & March 21st, 1987

So much hurt is left in the room
From words that are said without thinking it through
So little time, would it take to be sure
That the things you must say are worthwhile
You don't know me at all
If you think you can be careless and not catch me as I fall
Don't you know you have the choice, not to tell me what you see
She tells you, you tell me

So we meet to hear you talk about what's happening in your life
You tell me you are happy and you're cheating on your wife
Oh you seem to know a lot about the things that people say
And you think I need to know their hurting words
I don't know you at all
You never seem to notice when my back's against the wall
For an angry word, once spoken, will gain strength with each repeat
She tells you, you tell me

All things pass, we all move on
And if you come to me when you're not so strong
On that day, you will know
My words will never leave you when I go

I still need you to care
And I wish you could now look at me and feel your silent stare
But sometimes it is the best thing to agree to disagree
She tells you, you tell me
She tells you, you tell me
She tells you, you tell me
