Lyrics

You Could Have Told Me

I say I can't take it anymore
you say I'm crazy
I don't know what I’m talking about
You say, ‘there you go
Tryin’ to control me’
Yet no matter what I say or do,
That’s your truth
You want to be loved
No conditions
Regardless, regardless
Held in high esteem
In perpetuity
Regardless, regardless
Chorus:
You could have told me
I would have known
I couldn't succeed
You could have told me
You could always change your mind
at really any time
You could've told me
You could have told me
You could change the rules
They don’t apply to you
You could've told me
I want a partner
Somebody I can count on
To help me when I’m down
To help me thru the muck
You want a companion
A friend at your call
Who will listen whenever
And never find a fault.
Chorus
or I could have read
the writing on the wall
the absence of remorse
the external locus of control
the inability to say no,
but counting on fairness to be upheld
I held on hoping for what it could be
Oh It’’s taken awhile
but now I see, yeah.
I got clarity
You could have told me
You could change the rules
They don’t apply to you
You could've told me
You could have told me
You could always change your mind
at really any time
You could've told me
You could have told me
I would have known
I couldn't succeed
Yeah you could’ve told me
I say I can't take it anymore
you say I'm crazy
I don't know what I’m talking about
Yeah I say I can't take it anymore
you say I'm crazy
I don't know what I’m talking about
