I’ve Told You Now

"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 he fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in his advances. Smith says he thought the guy was interested, so after more than a few drinks, he poured his 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
