Say What?

Say What You Need to Say...

I hear the song all the time and really like the melody. It's catchy. Only recently did I start listening to the lyrics. I love the lyrics to this song. I especially like the bold verses I've highlighted below.

I think that, for me, the song has special meaning because often I get busy and lost in my own thoughts and sometimes forget to just "say what I need to say."

Say What You Need to Say
by John Mayer

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say...

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you could only ...

Say what you need to say...

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say...
