"I've Told You Know" is a track off of Sam Smith's debut album, In the Lonely Hour.
Concept[]
Smith wrote this song about a heartbreak when they fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in their advances. Smith says they thought the guy was interested, so after more than a few drinks, they poured their heart out to him, only to be rejected.
Lyrics[]
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
Although you're right can't get your thoughts in order
Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain
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 I
I've told you now
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?
Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain
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 I
I've told you now
I've told you now
And I've told you now!
And I've told you now!
Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain
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 free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh I
I've told you now
