say anything

you see me as a judge

though i deny it

and hold me like a grudge

then justify it

but when you take such pains

in searching for something that explains

please

take a good look at our remains

cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and maybe there's room for compromise

but signs that i get say otherwise

say anything

cause i've heard everything

as hopeless as it seems

i wouldn't worry

you'll get your chance to tell

your side of the story

while you're raising your right hand

whatever defenses you had planned

remember that when you take the stand

if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and though i'd be happy to believe

i'd have to be much more naive

say anything

i've heard everything. now i've heard everything. so why do i refuse

the truth

when i clearly cannot use

the comfort of one more lame excuse

cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if you were everything you swear

we wouldn't be beyond repair

if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if there has got to be an if

get it over with

say anything

'cause i've heard everything. now i've heard everything.
