never read
the words you used to write
they'll keep you up at night
try to sleep
i'm sure you told the truth
just in a minor key
some will stay
and some will slowly fade away
some will sting like winter rain
but they'll never change
i'm so sorry
it's a literary write-off really
tell it to me tell it to me straight
tell me something anyway
just tell them
every sorry thing that happened
one summer on holiday
and tell it sadly
it's no war exactly
you never faced a bull
that tried to fight
but you still get scared
and so do i
it's a balmy night
no shadow across the mountains
as the rain turns to snow
just feeling lonely on the way back home
but you'll still write it down
just give me one true sentence somehow
tell it to me tell it to me straight
tell me something anyway
just tell them
every sorry thing that happened
one summer on holiday
and tell it sadly
did we defy our critics?
or did i just dream it?
will we still hide our feelings
from anyone who's still listening?
tell it to me tell it to me straight
tell me something anyway
just tell them
every sorry thing that happened
one summer on holiday
and tell it sadly
insufferably
just tell it the way you told me
