Couldn't I Just Tell You Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

Keep your head and everything will be cool 

You didn't have to make me feel like a fool 

When I try to say I feel the way that I do 

I want to talk to you 

And make it load and clear 

Though you don't care to hear 

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel 

I cant keep it bottled up inside 

Could we pretend that its no big deal 

And there's really nothing left to hide 

Something sure doesn't seem right to me 

When you can turn your back whenever you please 

And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu 

Why cant I talk with you 

And put it in your ear though you don't care to hear 

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel 

I cant keep it bottled up inside 

Could we pretend that its no big deal 

And there's really nothing left to hide 

Hear me out 

Why don't you lend me an ear 

Hear me out 

You've got no reason to fear 

Hear me out 

I'll make it perfectly clear 

I love you 

I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve 

I'm not a coward if that's what you believe 

And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if its true 

I got to talk with you 

And then I'll make it clear 

Make it clear 

Make it clear 

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel 

I cant keep it bottled up inside 

Could we pretend that its no big deal 

And there's really nothing left to hide 

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel 

I cant keep it bottled up inside 

Could we pretend that its no big deal 

And there's really nothing left to hide
