HAIM - Something to Tell You Album Lyrics

Some things are long forgotten
Some things were never said
We were on one endless road
But I had a wandering heart

I said we were opposite lovers
(Said it from the beginning) you kept trying to prove me wrong
(Said you'd always see it through) and I know that I ran you down
So you ran away with your heart

But just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you

I know it's hard to hear it
And it may never be enough
But don't take it out on me now
'Cause I blame it all on myself

And I had a fear of forgiveness
(Said it from the beginning) I was too proud to say I was wrong
(Said you'd always see me through) but all that time is gone
No more fearing control, I'm ready for the both of us now

So just know that I want you back
So just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you
Just know that I want you back (just know that I want you)
Just know that I want you back (just know that I want you)
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (just know that I want you back, baby)

Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us (you back)
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (you back)
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us (you back)
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (you back)

Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you back
Just know that I want you I'll take the fall and the fault in us
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you
Just know that I want you back (just know that I want you)
Just know that I want you back (just know that I want you)
Just know that I want you, I'll take the fall and the fault in us
I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (just know that I want you back, baby)
(Just know that I want you)
(Just know that I want you back, baby)
I'll take the fall and the fault in us, I'll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (you back)

Counting the hours
With nothing to say
Going though the motions
It's slipping away
We were so gallant
So unafraid
Sleeping back to back
You're turning away

How could you tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
Tell me, tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
It was good but now it's gone (t-tell me)
Tell me, tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
How could you tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
Go on, tell me what you want (t-tell me)
Boy, keep telling me all along (t-tell me)
Just tell me nothing's wrong

Sound of the times
Sound of your crimes
Thinkin' about the other night
Was it all in my mind?
I was so foolish, I was so blind
Why do we do this to each other, baby?
Heartbreak by design

How could you tell me nothing's wrong
(Just tell me, baby)
Tell me, tell me nothing's wrong
(How could you tell me nothing's wrong)
It was good but now it's gone, baby
Tell me, tell me nothing's wrong
(T-tell me nothing's wrong)
How could you tell me nothing's wrong
(Just tell me baby)
Go on, tell me what you want (t-tell me)
Boy, you keep telling me all along (t-tell me)
Just telling me nothing's wrong

It's obvious
Be honest
It's obvious (could you tell me nothing's wrong?)
Be honest
It's obvious
Be honest
It's obvious (just tell me, baby)
I'm being honest
It's obvious
Be honest
Be honest, be honest

Tell me nothing's wrong
T-tell me nothing's wrong
T-tell me nothing's wrong, yeah yeah
How could you tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
Go on, tell me what you want (t-tell me)
Boy, you keep telling me all along (t-tell me)
Just tell me nothing's wrong
(Just tell me, baby)
How could you tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
Tell me, tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
How could you tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
Tell me, tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
How could you tell me nothing's wrong (t-tell me)
Go on, tell me what you want (t-tell me)

You were just another recovering heart
I wasn't even gonna try
You wouldn't even give up time
Could be so easy, you make it hard
Don't think about it all too much
My love is gonna be enough

You're so close now
And I know now

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
And I'll try
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
And I'll try
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
And I'll try
You gotta give me just a little of you love
Give me just a little of your love

Don't it feel like that night was from a dream
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I've never felt nothing like that
Looking at you, looking right back
You say nothing is ever as good as it seems
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Stop running your mouth like that
'Cause you know I'm gonna give it right back

You're so close now
(Don't let me down) (don't let me down)
So don't let me down

You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
And I'll try
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
And I'll try
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
And I'll try
You gotta give me just a little of you love
Give me just a little of your love

Oh, with a little strength, baby
Oh, I'll never let you down
Oh, with a little love, a little love, a little love

Give me just a little of your love, baby
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
You gotta give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love

Give me just a little of your love, give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love, baby
Give me just a little of your love
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
Give me just a little of your love
You gotta give me just a little of your love, baby
Give me just a little of your love
Gotta give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love (come on)
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love
Give me just a little of your love

Maybe I was trying to forget
All my crazy reactions over my ex
Maybe you played way too hard to get
So I kept it moving to another one one night stand

I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
'Cause that's all I wanna do, oh
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
So that's what I'm gonna do (that's what I'm gonna do)

I promise I'll treat you right
Been waiting my whole damn life
Baby, it's about time
I wasn't ready for you
Funny how this whole game played
Three years since I learned your name
The wrong time, the wrong place
I wasn't ready for you

Maybe I couldn't tell you why
I didn't hide the first night I met you
We were locking eyes
They said you'd be like all the other guys
Two faced, but too numb to know it
Telling your pretty lies, babe

But I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
'Cause that's all I wanna do, oh
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
So that's what I'm gonna do (that's what I'm gonna do)

I promise I'll treat you right
Been waiting my whole damn life
Baby, it's about time
I wasn't ready for you
Funny how this whole game played
Three years since I learned your name
The wrong time, the wrong place
I wasn't ready for you

Keep thinking about you
Thinking you almost slipped through
There won't be another day I let you get away
I keep calling 'til your guard comes down
'Cause I wanna keep you around
'Cause we started something good
But just know that before you
I wasn't ready (for you)
I wasn't ready (for you)
When you first met me (for you)
That's what I'm gonna do
I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready for you, baby
I wasn't ready for you, baby
For you, baby, for you, baby
I wasn't ready for you

I promise I'll treat you right
Been waiting my whole damn life (waiting my whole damn life)
Baby, it's about time
I wasn't ready for you (I wasn't ready, baby)
Funny how this whole game played
Three years since I learned your name
The wrong time, the wrong place
I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready, baby
I wasn't ready for you, baby
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready, baby
I wasn't ready for you, baby
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready, no
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready

On the way down, a fall from grace
I was in for a heavy one when I could feel you pull away
On the way down, it was too much to take
Even though I tried, it was never enough for running in the same damn place

But I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, I was innocent, I was innocent
I let you know that it's no good
But you could never say it first
I know you're hurt
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

'Cause I got something to tell you, but I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

Heavy was the sound I could not lift
I could run for a million miles and never get away from it
But knowing that now, I couldn't be content
Even when it was looking up for us, it was difficult to pretend

But I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, I was innocent, I was innocent
I let you know that it's no good
But you could never say it first
I know you're hurt
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

'Cause I got something to tell you, but I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, (I was innocent)
I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, baby, (I was innocent)
I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, I was innocent, I was innocent
I let you know that it's no good
But you could never say it first
I know you're hurt
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

'Cause I got something to tell you, but I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye
But I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

Never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

It was a weight on my shoulders
A strain on my back
But I love to have you, right there by my side
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)
It used to be, when we are alone
We shared such beautiful moments
(But lately it's been such a mix)
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)

Go on and say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, say the words that you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I need to hear you say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, say the words that you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you

I came home to see you, you weren't around
Excuses were one right after the other
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)
You woke up from another dream, another fight you didn't mean
Still, time after time
I came running to get you
(You couldn't take it)
(You couldn't take it)

Go on and say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, say the words that you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I need to hear you say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, say the words that you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you

(You couldn't take it)
Another heart, another day
So much time just thrown away
(You couldn't take it)
You know I love to be in love
(You couldn't take it)
So tired of trying to show you
I worked so hard

Go on and say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, say the words that you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I need to hear you say it
Was my love too much for you to take?
I guess you never knew what was good for you
Don't keep me waiting, say the words that you're too scared to say
I guess you never knew what was good for you

I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you
I guess you never knew
I guess you never knew what was good for you

When you sleep, are you dreaming of me?
Who's to say, but I'm always awake

If you want me, I'm waiting for you
If you call me, I'll pick up
Know I shouldn't, but I can't give up as usual

Kept me crying for so long, my tears have dried
When I hear your voice, those tears they come back to mind
So don't call me just to tell me
You don't love me anymore
Still it wrecks me 'cause

I was your lover
I was your friend
Now I'm only just someone you call
When it's late enough to forget
I was your lover
I was your friend
Now I'm only just someone you call
When it's late enough to forget

When you leave, I can't stop my heart hurting
Hurts to say I keep thinking you're staying

If you want me, I'm waiting for you
If you call me, I'll pick up
Know I shouldn't, but I can't give up as usual

Kept me crying for so long, my tears have dried
When I hear your voice, those tears they come back to mind
So don't call me just to tell me
You don't love me anymore
Still it wrecks me 'cause

I was your lover
I was your friend
Now I'm only just someone you call
When it's late enough to forget
I was your lover
I was your friend
Now I'm only just someone you call
When it's late enough to forget

I've got to cover, I can't pretend
That I'm anything more to you now
Than someone just hard to forget
And after all these tears
After all my years of trying
I don't wanna hear
That nothing meant anything

I was your lover
I was your friend
I was your lover
I was your friend
I was your lover
I was your friend
I was your lover
I was your friend

I wanted an honest man
I thought I found one of them
Stood by him every time I was scared
I was blind, wasn't I
Thought he was an honest man
Who could put me back together again
Tried so hard to read his mind, through his eyes
I was scared, I was blind

But I found it in silence, I finally see
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me
I found it in silence, I finally see
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me

Three fingers on the edge
You always talk me down in the end
Made me think you were right, all this time
Not this time, not this time
Both of us, holding back
But you were the most guilty of that
Someone else on your mind, all this time
I was right, wasn't I

You told me, "don't walk away"
You told me not to walk away
You told me not to walk, walk, walk
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk

But I found it in silence, I finally see (I finally see)
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me
I found it in silence, I finally see (I finally see)
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me
Found it in silence (found it in silence), finally see (finally see)
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me
Found it in silence (found it in silence), finally see (finally see)
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me

It was always for the better
And I guess I should have known
The truth is, it's your issue, I know I need to let it go
And though I have found happiness, in my life that's truly mine
You'd think I could just laugh it off, but it gets me every time

But I found it in silence
Found it in, found it in silence
Found it in, found it in silence
Found it in, found it in silence
Found it in, found it in silence
Finally see
Found it in silence, finally
Found it in silence, finally see
Found it in silence, finally

I found it in silence, I finally see
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me
Found it in silence, finally see
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me
I found it in silence (found it in silence), finally see
I know what's good for me (there's no turning back, I know what's good for me)
I found it in s-, I know what's good for me
I know what's good for me
I found it in s- (found it in silence)
Finally see
I know what's good for me
I finally see
Found it in silence, finally see
There's no turning back, I know what's good for me

You don't wanna talk, don't wanna work it out
If you were gonna face it, you would've by now
When were you around? Where were you at?
I waited hours and hours, hearing loud sirens
Suffered through this every different day
You see, now I'm not coming around
Coming around, coming around

I'm walking away, walking away, walking away
Walking away, walking away
Walking away, walking away, walking away
Walking away, walking away

You don't wanna give and you don't wanna know how
If you were gonna change things, you would've by now
When were you around? Where were you at?
Trying not think about it, baby
Running up and down the stairs
'Til there's nothing left between us but what we won't say

Walking away, walking away, walking away
Walking away, walking away
Walking away, walking away, walking away
Walking away, walking away

I don't know what's said so many times before
But now it's keeping me away
I know you did it so many times before
But I never thought I'd be the one you betrayed
Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us

Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us

Say something, say something, say something
While I can still heal, while I can still heal
Say something, say something, say something
While I can still heal, while I can still heal
Say something, say something, say something
While I can still heal, while I can still heal

Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us
Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us
Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us
Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us
Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us
Away, I'm not gonna wait
Nothing you can say that'll make me rethink
Every chance that we had and messed up
All the times it got away from us

Gave you my love, you gave me nothing
Said what I gave wasn't enough
You had me feeling I was foolish
For ever thinking this could be the one

I wasn't even in the running
Already had your mind made up
You left me searching for a reason
Why'd you leave, left me in the dust

And now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you love me, love me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
(Right now)

Gave you my love thought I could trust you
You let me down at every turn
You had me hanging on a dream you never believed
You gave me your word

Finally on the other side now
And I could see for miles
And I've forgotten every line

Now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you love me, love me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
(Right now)

Did you think this would be easy?
Thought this would be easy
Not now, not now
I know you heard me through an open window
Whispers carried to your ear
Whispers sounded so clear

"Somehow it's so clear now
Somehow it's so clear now
What's that sound?
That's you fading away"

Now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
Ooh and now you're saying that you love me, love me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
(Right now)

Now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
Ooh and now you're saying that you need me, babe
(Right now, right now)
Ooh and now you're saying that you love me, love me, babe
(Right now, right now)
And now you're saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
Saying that you need me
(Right now)

(Right now, right now)
(Right now, right now)
(Right now)

I say goodbye to love again
In loneliness, my only friend
In loneliness, my only fear
The nights end
Then I say goodbye to love once more
No shadow darkening the door
Until your memory is gone
The night, slow, long

Then I say goodbye to love again
In loneliness, my only friend
In loneliness, my only fear
The nights end
Then I say goodbye to love once more
No shadow darkening the door
Until your memory is gone
The night, slow, long

(I say goodbye to love again) Slow, long
(I say goodbye to love again) Slow, long
(I say goodbye to love again) Slow, long
(I say goodbye to love again) Slow, long
