If I tell you what I really want, you just say shut up You don't really wanna hear it, no I try to be resolute, you reduce it down to cute I tell you you're a coward, you say I'm a prostitute When the mascara's dry, I know you've got something to hide
Can't you just say it, say it, say it, say it one time? Speak your mind Say it, say it, say it, I would show up with someone else What's a pact[?] when you're yourself
I tell you what I want, but I keep it kinda cryptic I'm a zoetrope[?] decipher on the tip of a triptych Tell you what you want Tell you what I need but I hate you if you miss it I'd like to take a stranger's face in my hands And kiss the taste of nowhere to hide Yeah the taste of nowhere to hide
I want you to say it, say it, say it, say it one time Speak your mind Say it, say it, say it - here comes the breakdown What's a life when there's no one around?
Say it, say it, say it - what's going on here? I swear you'll disappear if you don't say it, say it, say it [?] or speak no more
You're just a cheap lout You're just an escape route But you know, you know, you know What makes me try again
What's the matter with you? Were their tunes you wanna do? You won't let anyone get near Is it the critics you fear? Blast them all and cut off your ear And keep it all in your head [?] when you're dead no one else can hear Nothing you write will ever match this You should go back to that actress Or the days you lived on a mattress When everything was new [?] cursed, and make a gift to the universe You wanna go? And you'll see me at the show
Say what you mean Say it, say it, say it Say what you mean Say it, say it, say it Say what you mean Say it, say it, say it Yeah, yeah, yeah
Say what you mean Say it, say it, say it Say what you mean Say it, say it, say it Say what you mean Say it, say it, say it
