Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's easier to forgive someone
For being wrong than for being right
Isn't it?
And how your angry tears will fall
When all your plans don't suit the one you made them for
It comes to this
It's easier forgetting how you got to shore
When every cloud that blows your way is something else to blame me for
[Chorus]
Say it like you feel it
You can't say it like you feel it anymore
Say it like I mean it
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
I can't say it anymore
[Verse 2]
Hold it up to the light, it looks like love
It's what the mirror says
You name it so
But you cut your pretty shapes as paper flakes from careful sheets
They blow away
Not made to keep
What if alteration makes a little lie?
When what you paint instead is easier on the eye than what you hide
[Chorus]
Say it like you feel it
You don't say it like you feel it anymore
Say it like I mean it
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
Not anymore
[Bridge]
There are people who you think you're gonna love forever
Oh, when you should know better
You should know better
Some people only see you as a move they're making
Another step they're taking
A bet they're staking
There are people who you think you're gonna love forever
You're gonna stay together
You should know better
Some people don't forgive you
For what you give them freely
Or that you found it easy
They want to own completely
I can't feel it anymore
[Outro]
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
I can't say it anymore
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
I can't say it like I mean it anymore
