I CAN’T TELL YOU

(M. Alchin – 1982 - © Reasonable Songs)

I don’t know what’s going on behind those empty eyes

Chances are I don’t know you enough to tell you lies

If I could only tell you what I think of you

I can’t seem to find the words to say it through

I can see you’ve only come to tell me what you want

If you don’t want anything why do you come at all?

If I could only tell you what I think of you

I can’t seem to tell myself

And I can’t tell you what you want

And I can’t tell you what you need

I can’t tell you anything that you don’t know

I can’t tell you what to do

I can’t tell you where to be

If you want me to I’ll try to tell you why

I don’t know what’s going on behind those empty eyes

Chances are I don’t know you enough to tell you lies

If I could only tell you what I think of you

I can’t seem to tell myself

And I can’t tell you what you want

And I can’t tell you what you need

I can’t tell you anything that you don’t know

I can’t tell you what to do

I can’t tell you where to be

If you want me to I’ll try to tell you why

I can’t tell you

I can’t tell you

I can’t tell you
