Say It Like You Mean It

Come on, muster up the strength to sign the card
Its such an easy out, but yet its still so hard
Come on, find the nerve just once to play the part
Another brownie point for your little christian heart

Come on, pay respects to the little boy you are
Come on, pry your lips open just for a start
Maybe theyll say something you always knew you should
Or maybe theyll shock us all and for once just do some good

Cover up your tracks, because theres no going back out now
All of its illusions, everythings confusion now
Say it like you mean it, i could never break you down
Say it like you mean it, look, theres no one else around
Say it like you mean it, i could never figure you out
Say it like you mean it, but i dont wanna be around

Say it like you mean it now, because its only us, and im not too proud
Say it like you mean it now, because were a fading candle and were almost out
Say it like you mean it now, before theres nothing left and its all burnt out
Say it like you mean it now

Its not the world thats ending now, its just your dream
Its hard to deal with it when its nothing like it seems
I guess you made your choice when you opened up your eyes
I guess you heard her voice and decided it was wise

To just lie all day tucked firmly in your bed
As you try erasing everything you said
Come and pay respects to the girl you said you loved
Come and light a candle and show us all what youre made of

Say it like you mean it now, because were a ticking clock and time is almost up
Say it like you mean it now, because its only us and im not too proud
