i told you

Harry Belafonte

Broken promise
Lies open in a corner of the room
Empty feelings
Hang in the air like old perfume
Rhymes and reasons
Still wait untaken in my hand
Old excuses
Thereââ?¬â?¢s nothing here to understand

I told you, I told you
Too much about me, I donââ?¬â?¢t know
I told you, I told you
Always is just too far to go

Shadows, distance
I watch them fall across your face
I canââ?¬â?¢t touch them
And you canââ?¬â?¢t hide them any place
Endless circles
Weââ?¬â?¢ve been here many times before
Thereââ?¬â?¢s no change now
You just canââ?¬â?¢t take it anymore

I told you, I told you
Too much about me, I donââ?¬â?¢t know
I told you, I told you
Always is just too far to go
I told you
