Say Anything

Wade Bowen · The Given [2012]

I'll just come and out and say it, I don't come here much

And if I'd said it as a question, you probably would've gotten up

'Cause a pick-up line just ain't my style and I assume it isn't yours

So, why don't we just start with a drink, I'm in no mood to think



Please just say, say anything

Tell a story, ramble on

I'll pretend to go along

Yeah, 'cause she, she wears someone else's ring

I let her go 'cause I was blind

And I can't get it off my mind

So, say anything



I can't promise that I'll listen, or hang on every word

'Cause my thoughts tend to wander every time I think of her

Oh, and how she could've told me all I was doing wrong

She took my pride and left me broken

All because of things left unspoken



So, please just say, say anything

Tell a story, ramble on

I'll pretend to go along

Yeah, 'cause she, she wears someone else's ring

I let her go 'cause I was blind

And I can't get it off my mind

So, say anything



Give me pointless words with healing touch

I'll believe anything you say



Say anything

Tell a story, ramble on

I'll pretend to go along

Yeah, 'cause she, she wears someone else's ring

I let her go 'cause I was blind

And I can't get it off my mind

So, say anything

Baby, just say anything, oh, anything at all
