Telling You Now

I know it's late but it's better than never
I always thought that you would live forever
I should have told you then but
I'm telling you now

I had to stop cause I couldn't stand the feedback
Off the rails and I didn't want to be that
I didn't have the facts so
I'm telling you now

I'm telling you now
When the door has closed and the whole world knows
That it's over
I'm telling you now
When the dust has cleared and you cannot hear me
You cannot
I'm telling you

It got bitter and I didn't want to taste it
I lost your number and I never replaced it
I couldn't face it then so
I'm telling you now

I'm telling you now
When the crowd's gone home and we're all alone
And it's over
I'm telling you now
When the bars have closed and the streets are frozen
It's over
I'm telling you now
When the dust has cleared and you cannot hear me
You cannot hear

I waited for the right time
But the right time never came
It doesn't mean a thing until
You call it by its name
I should have called it then
I'm telling you now

When the door has closed and God only knows
That it's over
I'm telling you now
When the lights come on and the freaks are gone
And we're older
I'm telling you now

I'm saying it loud and clear
I'm still here
I had to stop cause I couldn't stand the feedback
I heard a rumor and I couldn't believe that
I heard it twice and the whole world went black
I'm kneeling down on the tracks

I'm telling you now
(I had to stop cause I couldn't stand the feedback)
I'm telling you
