Song: “Say It Anyway” I saw you in the meeting room Same chair, same look, different mood Ten years walking side by side Now we just pass and say hi We used to talk the whole way through Lunch and coffee, me and you Long drives out to see your mom Didn’t think it would go wrong You get loud, I don’t back down Two strong voices, same small town You cut people, I say things Neither one of us softens I don’t know how to bite my tongue If it’s wrong, I say it’s wrong If you show up how you show up I’m not built to dress it up I’m not trying to hurt you I just say what I see If I have to stay quiet It stops feeling like me You asked about my life today I told you everything, no delay Didn’t ask you how things went Some things don’t need to be said You’ve done this before, I know Cut people off, let them go I stay longer than I should Hoping truth might still be good I don’t know how to play it safe Smile nice and look away If you’re my friend, I’m gonna speak Even when it makes it break I’m not trying to hurt you I just say what I see If I have to stay quiet It stops feeling like me I don’t want a life like that Holding words, pulling back I need somewhere I can stand And just be who I am Maybe that’s why people leave Maybe it’s just part of me But I won’t learn to lie just to stay I’m gonna say it anyway
