[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
