I Can Tell
MANU GRACE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you could stay a while
Won't you come back to bed
Kiss me just one last time
Before you go

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I wish you could stay a while
Won't you come back to bed
Makes me sound insecure
What a pair we make

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I can tell by the way that you hold me
That you're bored, but you think you still love me
I can tell by the way that you love me
I'm not your all, but you think you still want me

I can tell by the way that you hold me
That you're bored, but you think you still love me
I can tell by the way that you love me
I'm not your all, but you think you still want me

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you

I've been calling you up to say
You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you to blame

I've been calling you up to say

You're breaking my heart
But I don't even know if it's you
