Say It
Blue October

- -- --- ----- --- -- -

It’s all about esteem.
It’s all about dreams.
It’s all about makin’ the best out of everything.
You’ll know when you’re fine,
‘Cause you’ll talk like a mime.
When you fall on your face,
You’ll get back up.
Man, you’re doin’ fine.

A considerate clown;
A preachy preaching machine –
It’s one of the sweetest things you would say about me.
But I don’t have the time for your distorted esteem.
Why are you toyin’ with my..mind?

I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-s-say it.
I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-say it.
I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-s-say it.
Now you’re messin’ with my..pride.

Look, you think you’re smarter than me.
Well, everyone knows you will never be smarter than me.
That’s how it goes.
I gained forty pounds because of you.
Was there an “S” on my chest?
Well, I confess – you were too much stress.
I’d have a heart attack at best.

So now I breathe it out, I breathe it out,
And I spit it on the crowd,
‘Cause they lift me up, they lift me up,
The lift me up when I’m feelin’ down.
What am I spitting out, spitting out?
Somethin’ we never talk about –
It’s called my..mind.

I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-s-say it.
I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-say it.
I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-s-say it.
Now you’re messin’ with my..pride.

Well, I’m sick of standing in your line,
So now you’ll have to take it.
Take this heart –
I will never let you f**k me over.
Stop talking down to me.
Your war is old.
Your game is over.
So here’s my coldest shoulder.

I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-s-say it.
I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-say it.
I don’t wanna’ hear you s-s-s-s-s-s-say it.
Now you’re messin’ with my..pride…my pride.

Oh, it’s somethin’ we don’t talk about.
Somethin’ we don’t talk about.
