| I’d better rest my eyes
|
| 'Cause I’m growing weary of
|
| This point you’ve been trying to make
|
| So rather than imply
|
| Why don’t you just verbalize
|
| All the things that you’re trying to say
|
| Thought this would turn out so well
|
| But I’m beginning to see
|
| That instead it’s trouble
|
| Into a pattern we fell
|
| Of prolonging the inevitable
|
| Why don’t you
|
| Come right out and say it?
|
| Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
|
| I’d rather have the truth
|
| Than something insincere
|
| Why don’t you
|
| Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
|
| What it is you’re thinking
|
| Though I’m thinking it’s not what I wanna hear
|
| I better check my pride
|
| Because I was starting to think
|
| I was on to something good
|
| But things started to slide
|
| And I sit here in retrospect
|
| And understanding that I misunderstood
|
| Thought I could make up your mind
|
| And then this decision locks up
|
| So tight it couldn’t be touched
|
| Thought you were being so kind
|
| But keeping your mouth sealed shut
|
| Rather than just opening it up
|
| And I tried
|
| To guess what goes on in your head
|
| 'Cause in your mind
|
| I just might find
|
| All those things you left unsaid
|
| And I’ll try to maybe not regret anything
|
| Later on after I’m gone
|
| You’ll wish that you
|
| Had listened to me (listened to me)
|
| Why don’t you
|
| Come right out and say it
|
| Even if the words are gonna hurt
|
| We’re better off this way
|
| Why don’t you
|
| Come right out and say come right out and say
|
| What I know you’re thinking anyway
|
| Why don’t you
|
| Come right out and say it
|
| Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
|
| I’d rather have the truth than something insincere
|
| Why don’t you
|
| Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
|
| What it is you’re thinking
|
| And just what it is you’re thinking |
