I’ve Told You Now Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
You know what I mean
It's like walking in the heat all day with no water
It's like waiting for a friend
Watching everybody else meet theirs on that corner
Or losing in an argument
Though you're right, can't get your thoughts in order
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain
[Chorus]
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
[Verse 2]
You know what I mean
Although I try my best, I still let down the team
You're everything I want
Why should I resist when you are there for me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I refrain from talking at you, talking on?
You know me well, I don't explain
[Chorus]
But what the hell?
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
[Bridge]
I've told you now
I've told you now
I've told you now
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, I refrain from talking at you, talking on
You know me well, I don't explain
[Chorus]
So what the hell?
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
What the hell?
Why do you think I come 'round here on my own will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh, oh I, I've told you now
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Sam Smith uses metaphors to describe the feeling of unfulfilled longing and frustration. Comparing it to walking in the heat with no water or waiting for a friend who never shows up, Sam Smith captures the sense of discomfort and anticipation. The struggle to win an argument despite being right reflects the difficulty of expressing their thoughts clearly.
[Pre-Chorus]
In the pre-chorus, Sam Smith acknowledges their tendency to hold back from expressing their true feelings. Despite being known well by the person they are addressing, there is a reluctance to fully explain themselves, indicating a deep-seated fear or hesitation.
[Chorus]
The chorus reveals the exasperation and confusion over why they continue to visit and spend time with this person. Sam Smith questions their own actions, highlighting the frustration of wasting precious time while the truth about their feelings spills out. The repetition of having told them now suggests a significant moment of confession and vulnerability.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Sam Smith expresses feelings of inadequacy despite their efforts. The acknowledgment of letting down the team reflects a sense of personal failure. However, there is also an admission of the powerful attraction and connection to the person, questioning why they should resist when the person is always there for them.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus repeats, emphasizing the internal conflict of wanting to communicate honestly but holding back. The familiarity between Sam Smith and the person they are addressing underscores the depth of their relationship, yet the struggle to explain persists.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, further underscoring the frustration and confusion over their own actions. The truth of their feelings continues to spill out, highlighting the emotional intensity and vulnerability of the situation.
[Bridge]
The bridge reinforces the confession, with Sam Smith repeatedly stating that they have told the person now. This repetition emphasizes the significance of the moment and the weight of the unspoken emotions that have finally been expressed.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus repeats once more, highlighting the ongoing struggle of wanting to talk but holding back. The familiarity and deep connection between Sam Smith and the person remain evident.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the frustration and confusion, emphasizing the emotional turmoil of the situation. The truth spilling out signifies the release of pent-up emotions and the cathartic nature of finally expressing what has been held inside for so long.
