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 its trouble
Into a pattern we fell
Of prolonging the inevitable
Why don't you come right out and say it
Even if 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
What it is you're thinking though
I'm thinking it's not what I want to hear
I better checkmy 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 so kind
By keeping your mouth sealed shut rather than just opening it up
And I'll try to make you not regret anything
But later on after I'm gone
You'll wish you 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
