Tell Me Lyrics

If I take it all back to yesterday
Could I make it turn out a different way
And it’s my understanding
It's hard to keep
Keep your eyes off the new life
That made you leave

You're looking out, I'm looking in
So I can catch a glimpse of where you've been

Why'd it have to be
Everyone can see
You take it all from me
Now I know that all of it was wasted
Why'd you have to hurt me so bad?

Why'd you tell me?

There was nothing wrong
Everything was fine
You are gone and now I have to face it
I can never say, it’s so sad
So why'd you tell mе?

(Why’d you tell me?!)
If I could make it all up to you somеhow
Would you try to make up or break me down
Is it your understanding
That made you keep
Keep your mind off the thinking
You shouldn't leave

You're looking out, I'm looking in
So I can catch a glimpse of where you've been

Why'd it have to be
Everyone can see
You take it all from me
Now I know that all of it was wasted
Why'd you have to hurt me so bad?

Why'd you tell me?

There was nothing wrong
Everything was fine
You are gone and now I have to face it
I can never say, it's so sad
So why'd you tell me?
Why (Why)
Why'd you tell me? (Why'd you tell me?)
Why'd you tell me? (Why, Why)
Why'd you tell me? (Why'd you tell me?)
Why'd you tell me?
Nana-nana (I didn’t wanna hear it)
Nana-nana
Nana-nana

(Why did’t have to be? Can you tell me?)

Nana-nana (Tell Me!)
Nana-nana (Do you really wanna know?)

Nana-nana…

Why'd it have to be
Everyone can see
You took it all from me
Now I know that all of it was wasted
Why'd you have to hurt me so bad?

Why'd you tell me?

There was nothing wrong
Everything was fine
You are gone and now I have to face it
I can never say, it's so sad
So why'd you tell me?
Why (Why)
Why'd you tell me? (Why'd you tell me?)
Why'd you tell me? (Why, Why)
Why'd you tell me? (Why'd you tell me?)
Why'd you tell me?

Why (Why)
Why'd you tell me? (Why'd you tell me?)
Why'd you tell me? (Why, Why)

Why'd you tell me?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
