Didn't I Tell You

Lyrics

I called you my friend
But our time has gone again
I know we'll get another chance
But I want it now and not then.

Didn't I tell you just yesterday
You mean more to me than that
Give me time to recount the way’s
I know I'm good at that
Didn't I tell you, didn't I?

You've got to kick me now and then
'Cauz I’m listening but I don't hear a thing
Our smiles of fortune they're on there way
You wanna leave me now?
Leave me now or hold on.

Didn't I warn you yesterday
It’s at your own expense
You can't afford me any way?
With my legless promises
Didn’t I tell you ? Didn't I?

And all that you are
Is like building bridges to the stars
And all that you can give
Is like an every day whisper
Every thing you can be
Shapes a better man of me
Lets remember to forget
All the times I left you lingering
Lingering.
