Lyrics
When It's All Been Told
You won't be needing me in your funny paper, I can stay now that I know
and you won't find me back in your hollow chamber
when there's nowhere left to go
Don't you think that it should make me cry to leave you?
Can you tell me why it seems you leave me cold?
You don't know the answer to your game, but you'll win it just the same
When It's all Been Told
I guess you think that you can laugh away the danger, when you've got nothing to lose
but all I hear is the echo of the pain you're
tellin' me I have to choose
Don't you think that it should make me cry to leave you?
Can you tell me why it seems you leave me cold?
You don't know the answer to your game, but you'll win it just the same
When It's all Been Told
I've only given you those things you took for granted but that's not what you bargained for
and I can't give you anything that you've demanded
when all you do is ask for more
Don't you think that it should make me cry to leave you?
Can you tell me why it seems you leave me cold?
You don't know the answer to your game, but you'll win it just the same
When It's all Been Told
