"I'll Tell You Everything" lyrics

"I'll Tell You Everything"

I was a bank robber, then I was Superman
For a time I was a ghost
Prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
And tell me which you love the most

And in the end I'll tell you everything
Even if it keeps you awake
And by the end, you'll know me for everything
How far I bend before I break

I'm your queen and I'm your worst nightmare
But sometimes I'm a dream
And I'm returning like a broken Mercury
And then I'm wings on your feet

And in the end I'll tell you everything
I'm sorry if it keeps you awake
But by the end you'll know me for everything
How far I bend before I break

Do you ever feel like we should run away again?
Shall we drive on till we're tired?
Put roses 'round my neck and then whisper the truth to me
Will I see you still tomorrow?

How much is too much, babe?
Here's all I owe, and what'll drive you away
How much is too much, babe?
Help me to learn from my mistakes

And in the end I'll tell you everything
Even if it keeps you awake
But by the end, you'll know me for everything
How far I bend before I break

And in the end I'll tell you everything
I'm sorry if it keeps you awake
But by the end you'll know me for everything
How far I bend before I break
