The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Too many promises
Too many reasons I recall
Too many people
I see the writing on the wall
I must have got you wrong
What kind of world do you live in?
I've waited far too long
I know where you've been
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
You don't know
Am I a sacrifice
Am I a fool too blind to see
I'm not a vagabond
I know what is, is meant to be
There is a better way
There comes a time I do believe
There is a price to pay
And I know where you've been
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
Standing in a waterfall
Try to ease your shame
Deep inside this tragedy
I try to kill my pain
Don't you tell me
Standing in a waterfall
Try to ease your shame
Deep inside this tragedy
I try to kill my pain
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me you don't know
Don't you tell me
Don't you tell me you don't know
