You Haven't Told Me Anything

  • In the cold gray room
    One afternoon, one afternoon
    What are you gonna do
    Having your way
    But there's nothing new

    You took a beautiful thing
    Pull off a wing, pull off a wing
    A safety pin
    It never shone quite as bright again

    But you haven't told me anything
    That I didn't already know
    No you haven't said a single thing
    That I didn't already know

    It's a thing I love
    Stuck in the mud, stuck in the mud
    Stuck in a rut
    Am I a piece in your puzzle or
    A paper cut

    Same time next week
    A kiss on the cheek, kiss on the cheek
    And say all done
    Everything's tied up nice and neat

    But you haven't told me anything
    That I didn't already know
    No you haven't said a single thing
    That I didn't already know

    I feel for you
    I really do
    Nothing turns out
    Like you want it too
    No words can mend
    This fix I'm in
    Hearing those words
    That I'll never play
    Right between the eyes
    I don't feel a thing

    But you haven't told me anything
    That I didn't already know
    No you haven't said a single thing
    That I didn't already know

    No you haven't told me anything
    No you haven't told me anything
    No you haven't told me anything
    No you haven't told me anything

    Anyone hearing anything different? Writer/s: RICHARD DAVID HUGHES, TIMOTHY JAMES RICE-OXLEY, TOM CHAPLIN
