this song is mainly shauns. it's about him, and lets be fair to him, being a complete headcase when it comes to relationships! the song is basically shauns lame attempt to justify dumping toms sister for another woman.
after shaun left weave tom wrote some new lyrics to this song. why not take a look at why can't you see 98 or you could also read the lyrics to bottled up which were also written about shaun and this song.

v1
I've got something to tell you
but you're not around to hear what I have to say
there's something I need to do
I need to know that you're behind me
If you were here would you ask me
If you didn't could I find the words that I need
would you understand me
and be happy what I have can be this good

chorus
why can't you see what I'm seeing
why can't you feel what I'm feeling
if you tear us apart
you'll only have yourself to blame
I know you think we've been here before
but this time ain't the same

v2
I'm standing at the door now
and I still don't really know what I'm gonna say
she makes me happy
is that enough or should I turn away
we're face to face now
and I'm telling you about the way that I feel
will you understand me
and be happy what I have can be this good

chorus

mid8
should have known I could tell you
cos friends are friends and friends are true
and I know
should have known I could trust you
cos you'd be there to see me through
and I know
should have known I could tell you...

(Shaun Hawkes, Tom Pearson 75/25)
