Circular Mistake
Tell me beloved
Why is there a tear in your eye

Tell me beloved
Why is there a tear in your eye
It's a trick of the wintertime
Love, everything is fine

Then tell me beloved
Why are you now clenching your teeth
I didn't dress for the winter and
Should have worn another layer
Whereas you've got your coat and wool underneath

Then tell me beloved
Why won't you let me give you my coat
Cause it's good to be cold in the wintertime
Love, everything is fine

It's because you make me tell you
And I don't wanna have to tell you
But I have nothing to tell you

Because I've said it all, said it all
Said it all before
And you can't make it all ok
Make me say it all, say it all again
Darling, we'll be further from the end
And closer to the forming
Of another circular mistake

Tell me beloved
Why are you angry with me
Well, well, well look whose taking on
The roll of the hurting one
Who can't keep his heart off his sleeve

Oh tell me beloved
If I could where would we be now
Some sweet place where it's understood
A girl doesn't have to

Look I thought you wanted me to ask you
I didn't know what I should ask you
Don't wanna have to tell you
That I have nothing to tell you

Because I've said it all, said it all
Said it all before
And you can't make it all ok

Make me say it all, say it all again
Darling, we'll be further from the end
Because we've said it all, said it all
Said it all before
And we can't make it all ok

Make me say it all, say it all again
Darling, we'll be further from the end
And closer to the forming
Of another circular mistake

Tell me beloved
Why is there a tear in your eye
