Come Right Out And Say It
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 gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say (come right out and say)
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 onto 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 so 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 gonna hurt
I'd rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don't you
Come right out and say (come right out and say)
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna 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
Later on after I'm gone
You'll wish that you
Had listened to me (had 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 (come right out and say )
What it is you're thinking
Oh, just what is it you're thinking?
Why don't you?
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear
