Third Eye Blind - Say It Lyrics

If I tell you what I really want
You'd 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
Ooooh say it, say it, say it
I would show up as someone else
What's it like when you're yourself

I'd tell you what I want
But I keep it kind of cryptic
I'm a zoetrope cyber on the tip of a trip
They tell you what you want
Tell you what I need
But I'd 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

Oh, just say it, say it, say it, say it one time
Speak your mind
Ooh say it, say it, say it
Here comes the breakdown
It's a life where there's no one round

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
Take it down now to the core
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 you try again

Say what you mean
Say what you mean
Say what you mean

Say what you mean
Say what you mean
Say what you mean
