(How Can I Tell You How I Feel)

How can I tell you how I feel
To watch you spark with somebody else?
How can I tell you how I feel
When I don’t even know myself?
Everything is suddenly unclear
About where you’re going with this
Everything is suddenly unclear
About who I am and where I fit

Surely you knew that I would cry
To hear our trust had been torn
Surely you knew that I would cry
Once you stepped past where we had drawn
It doesn’t help to ask you why
Already you knew what was ahead
And it doesn’t help to ask you why
’Cause it wouldn’t matter what I’d said

Explanations notwithstanding
I’ve tried to be most understanding
Wanting that healing for you
But every time you turn to greet him
I fall away like a broken tree limb
For a lightning’s flash, there’s just you two

The sadness turns me upside down
I walk on solid ground I can’t see
The sadness turns me upside down
I’ve placed full faith in mystery
I can only wait for the next round
The fog to lift and stars to appear
I can only wait for the next round
So my heart knows just what to fear

How can I tell you how I feel
How can I tell you how I feel
How can I tell you how I feel
How can I tell you how I feel
When I don’t even know myself?
