It was the look on your face
It gave you away, it gave you away
It was the way that you said my name, my name
It gave you away, it gave you away
To the time that it takes
It gave you away

I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
You were a safe bet
I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
Yeah, yeah

Forced laughs, fake smiles,
Just force it out
'Cause it's all the same to them
One time too many,
I watch you fade away

I watch you fade away
To the time it takes
And the things you say
I know better now
I know better now
So turn this up and listen well,
I just needed you to know,
I just needed you to know that

I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
You were a safe bet
I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
Yeah, yeah

I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
You were a safe bet
I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
Yeah

She tries too much
She doesn't smile enough
She's got these great ideas
And no one to hear them
I waited for you
Why won't you just tell me?

She tries too much
She doesn't smile enough
She's got these great ideas
And no one to hear them
I waited for you
Why won't you just tell me?

Why won't you just tell me?

She tries too much
She doesn't smile enough
She's got these great ideas
And no one to hear them
I waited for you
Why won't you just tell me?

I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet
You were a safe bet
I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet

Because I fell in love,
And then you mess it up,
And you'll try again
You know it's not worth it

Scream your lungs it's never quite enough
To get the sound across
You know it's not worth it

Why won't you just tell me?
