Come Right Out And Say It
Relient K · Five Score And Seven Years Ago [2007]
I 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 going to hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say it
What it is you're thinking though I'm thinking it's not what I want to hear
I better check my pride
Because I was starting to think that I was on to something good
But things started to slide
And I sit here in retrospect understanding that I misunderstood
Thought I could make up your mind
You had a decision locked up so tight it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being kind
By keeping your mouth sealed shut rather than just opening it up
Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably going to hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say it
What it is you're thinking though I'm thinking it's not what I want to hear
And I'll try 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 make you not regret anything
But later on after I'm gone
You'll wish you had listened to me
Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if the words are going to 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 going to hurt
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say
Come right out and say it
What it is you're thinking
Oh just what it is your thinking
What it is you're thinking though I'm thinking it's not what I want to hear
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
