[verse]

I have a big book of numbers

I have a long list of rules

Don't know what to file it under

When I think about you?

I'm writing myself a letter

I need a good talking to

Remind me I should have known better

Than trusting someone like you

[Chorus]

Don't try and tell me

One and One, doesn’t add up to two

Don't try and tell me

The truth is whatever you choose

[Verse]

I make a chart of my feelings

Color-coded day by day by day

But the lines keep bending and bleeding

Every time I write your name

[Chorus]

Don't try and tell me

Green is not simply yellow and blue

Don't try and tell me

Love is just chemical glue

[Bridge]

You used to say I was the only one for you

But now you play me for a fool

[Verse]

My mind sorts the facts from the fiction

Labels the lies and the truth

But the facts seem to change their positions

Whenever it comes to you

[Chorus]

Don't try and tell me

You have the perfect excuse

Don't try and tell me

You know what I'm going through

[Chorus]

Don't try and tell me

I'm making this all about you

Don't try and tell me

I'll find somebody new

[Outro] (repeat and fade)

Don't try and tell me

Don't try and tell me

Don't try and tell me
