Tell It Like It Is

Graham Coxon

You've got the need to wander, I'm getting it from your 
eyes 
I know I'm not the one to tell you exactly where your 
feelings should lie 

When I saw you my life turned so beautiful 
I never met no-one like you before 

Why can't you tell it like it is, just make it clear 
You came into my life and then you disappear 
All I have of you is a ringing in my ear 
And when I reach out 'cause I wanna hold you near 
There's nobody here 

And as you're packing your suitcase, I'm catching you 
dry your eyes 
But you're keeping a straight face like this happens 
all the time 

You treated me like I was brand new before 
No-one had made me feel like you do before 

Why can't you tell it like it is, just make it clear 
You came into my life and then you disappear 
All I have of you is a ringing in my ear 
And when I reach out 'cause I wanna hold you near 
There's nobody here 

When I saw you my life turned so beautiful 
I'd never met no-one like you before 
And as I feel your footsteps move the floor 
I welcome loneliness back through the door 

Why can't you tell it like it is, just make it clear 
You came into my life and then you disappear 
All I have of you is a ringing in my ear 
And when I reach out 'cause I wanna hold you near 
There's nobody here
