Say It
I wish you'd just admit
That I wasn't worth fighting for
That I was the risk
You didn't see as worth taking
Why can't you just say it
That I didn't have all you needed
That all you were looking for
You never could find in me
Why is it so hard to confess
That I had nothing you felt compelled to cherish
That you knew I was replaceable
And there was nothing special to see here
I just want to hear you tell me
That you believed you could have better
That I never had a chance of measuring up
That I would have never been good enough
Oh how I'm dying to hear you say it
Just the cold hard truth
Delivered straight up and honest
It can't get any worse than this
You let your actions be the voice
They served me all the proof
Words are sweet through the good
But hard times reveal what's true
So just come out and say it
I became less interesting over time
And every quality of mine
You could no longer stand
After seeing all there is to see
You decided you don't like me
The bad outweighed my best attempts
What does it take to make you say it
Rather than communicate
You chose to push yourself away
Who I am drove you to the edge
It's the only explanation
So holy shit just say it
Nothing to lose
The damage has been done
You didn't want it to work, I'm not confused
My feelings were strong enough to do whatever it takes
But you didn't feel the same
From me as a person you felt there was nothing to gain
So why the fuck can't you just say it!
Screw your justifications
And your reasons for giving up
It's all because I'm just a bit too much
Come on, I want to hear you say it
We weren't worth the effort to try
Easier to let it die
It's obvious, no point in a lie
So seriously, why not just say it
Just
Fucking
Say it!
