I better rest my eyes, 'cause I'm growing weary of this point you've been trying to make
So rather than imply, why don't you just verbalize all the things that you're trying to say?
Thought this would turn out so well
But I'm beginning to see that instead, it's trouble
Into a pattern we fell, of prolonging the inevitable
Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt,
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say it? (Come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking, though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear
I better check my pride, because I was starting to think that I was onto something good
But things started to slide and I sit here in retrospect, understanding that I misunderstood
Thought I could make up your mind
You had a decision locked up so tight, it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
By keeping your mouth sealed shut, rather than just opening it up
Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt,
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say it? (Come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking, though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear
And I'll try to guess what goes on in your head
'Cause in your mind, I just might find all those things you left unsaid
And I'll try to make you not regret anything
But later on, after I'm gone, you'll wish that you had listened to me
Had listened to me
Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are gonna hurt, we're better off this way
Why don't you come right out and say, come right out and say
What I know you're thinking anyway
Why don't you come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt,
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don't you come right out and say it? (Come right out and say it)
What it is you're thinking, oh, what is it you're thinking?
Why don't you?
What it is you're thinking, though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

==============================
Fear can drive stick
And it's taken me down this road
A road, down which, I swore I'd never go
And here, I sit
Thinking of God-knows-what
Afraid to admit I might self-destruct
So lock the windows and bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems without creating more
I feel like I was born for devastation and reform
I'll destroy everything I love
And the worst part is
I'll pull my heart out and reconstruct
But in the end, it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started
An injury I'll cause with my own fist
It seems to me to be slightly masochistic
But there'd be no story without all this dissension
So I inflict the conflict with the utmost of intention
So lock the windows and bolt the door
'Cause I've got enough problems without creating more
I feel like I was born for devastation and reform
I'll destroy everything I love
And the worst part is
I'll pull my heart out and reconstruct
But in the end, it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started
Thank-you, God, for giving me an insight
So I might make these wrongs right
If and when, there ever is a next time
'Cause failure is a blessing in disguise
Pull my heart out, reconstruct
In the end, it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started
A shell of what I had when I first started
I feel like I was born for devastation and reform
I'll destroy everything I love
And the worst part is
I'll pull my heart out and reconstruct
But in the end, it's nothing but
A shell of what I had when I first started
When I first started
A shell of what I had when I first started
