tt Tell Me
Allah-Las Lyrics

Tell me what I could get from what you had
Asking what benefits he could receive from the person's past experiences or possessions

I'm not feeling yet quite so bad
Not feeling completely miserable, but still not great

I'm not getting half of what I earn
Not receiving the proper amount of compensation for his efforts

Thought that we were set but now I, I've yearned
Believed things were going well, but now starting to long for more

Tell me what's on your mind
Asking the person to share their thoughts and feelings

'Cause I can't find it
Expressing frustration at not being able to understand the person

All my troubles, yeah, stem from you
Attributing his problems to the other person's actions or behavior

Not much I expected you to do
Not having high expectations for the other person

I'm not feeling quite the way I should
Feeling that his emotions are not appropriate for the situation

Once I was upset now I've been feeling good
Previously feeling negatively, but now starting to feel better

All my time I gave to you
Referring to the time and effort he has put into the relationship

All those trials you ran me through
Referring to the challenges he has faced due to the other person's actions

Love like yours will have to wait
Implying that the other person's love is not what he is looking for at the moment

Not my style to hesitate
Not wanting to waste any more time or effort without clear direction

I'm not saying that I try
Clarifying that he does not feel like he has put in enough effort

Hard enough to gain my stride
Working hard to reach a stable and successful point

All I have to say to you
Willing to communicate or do what the other person wants

Is anything you want me to, so
Ready and willing to comply with the other person's wishes

No I can't find it
Reiterating frustration at not being able to understand the person's thoughts and feelings
