Say it like you mean it

Say it like you mean it lyrics

Verse 1

I kept my words in a drawer
Folded neat, like a bill
Smiled at the edge of the room
Let the small thing sit still

I said "maybe" too often
I said "fine" like a prayer
Now the truth's got good posture
Standing right over there

Pre-Chorus

And it doesn't need polishing
It doesn't need a disguise
It only wants air in the room
And one clean look in the eyes

Chorus

Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
One honest line is enough
One honest line is enough

Verse 2

I kept my exits polite
Kept my edges tucked in
Made a whole life out of almost
Made a home out of thin

But the room can feel that
When you're holding your breath
So I loosen my hands now
And I let it be said

Pre-Chorus

It doesn't need polishing
It doesn't need a big scene
Just a mouth full of daylight
And the nerve to be seen

Chorus

Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
One honest line is enough
One honest line is enough

Bridge

If I shake, let me shake
If I blush, let it show
I've spent years being careful
Now I want you to know

Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
One honest line is enough
One honest line is enough
Say it like you mean it
(say it like you mean it)
