Couldn't I Just Tell You

Couldn't I Just Tell You - Matthew Sweet/Susanna Hoffs

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 can't 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 can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hide

Hear me out

Hear me out

Hear me out

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 it's 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 can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hide

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel

I can't keep it bottled up inside

And could we pretend that it's no big deal

And there's really nothing left to hide
