Lyrics Dan Fogelberg

Dan Fogelberg

Tell Me To My Face

And though you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door you're not deceiving me

Well, I'd have thought that you'd have known much better

Sending 'round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now

Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face?

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place?

And now I know my love is lost on you

And nothing you can say or do

Will turn my head around the other way

I'd have thought you'd have the decency

To come and tell the truth to me

Instead of telling lies your eyes betray

Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face?

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place?

Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Tell me to my face that you're leaving now

And though you try to justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door you're not deceiving me

Well, I'd have thought that you'd have known much better

Sending 'round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much better now

Is it just that you can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face?

You just took the coward's way to say goodbye

How would you feel here in my place?

Tell me to my face you're leaving now

Tell me to my face that you're leaving now
