Tell Me Twice

You opened your mouth and the words just tumbled out

Like marbles on the pavement

And scattered like a nest of flies

And every thought you'd bottled up inside, no matter how small

Stole to the cracks of the walls of your living room to hide

As part of living monument

And you don't have to say it twice

I was there for the first time

You don't have to tell me lies

You opened your mouth and the words just stuttered out

A poor player in an unrehearsed part

Bruised ego passed off as broken heart

The audience an afterthought

And you don't have to say it twice

I was there for the first time

You don't have to tell me lies

She comes around, she says 'I'm over it now'

You come around but baby I'm over it now

So just turn around

And you don't have to say it twice

You don't have to tell me lies
