I Can Tell

Lyrics and music © 2007 Eleanor Fye

 

I can tell by the way you touch me

I can tell by the way you don’t

I can tell by the things you will do

Even more by what you won’t

 

I can tell by the way you watch her

That your heart is nowhere near being set

And in that moment I can feel you leave me

But I’m still here don’t forget

 

What I know is that I won’t feel better

Until I get some more of your love

What I don’t know is how long you’ll stay here

And I’ll never know...

 

Unless I leave you now

 

You’re committed to your limitations

There’s never really any sacrifice

How does love fit into your equation?

It’s not about just being nice

 

Don’t you know

That life would be much easier

If you’d just shed all those layers of lies

What you do and what you say are different

I won’t know the truth...

 

So I’m leaving now
