Alison Moyet - Can't Say It Like I Mean It lyrics

It's easier to forgive someone for being wrong Than for being right, isn't it? And how your angry tears will fall when all your plans Don't suit the one you made them for It comes to this. It's easier forgetting how you got to shore When every cloud that blows your way Is something else to blame me for Say it like you feel it You can't say it like you feel it anymore Say it like I mean it I can't say it like I mean it anymore Hold it up to the light, it looks like love It's what the mirror says You name it so But you cut your pretty shapes as paper flakes From careful sheets They blow away Not made to keep What if alteration makes a little lie? When what you paint instead is easier on the eye Than what you hide Say it like you feel it You don't say it like you feel it anymore Say it like I mean it I can't say it like I mean it anymore Not anymore There are people who you think you're gonna love forever Oh when you should know better You should know better Some people only see you As a move they're making Another step they're taking A bet they're staking There are people who you think You're gonna love forever You're gonna stay together You should know better Some people don't forgive you What you give up freely or that you found it easy They want to own completely. There are people who you think you're gonna love forever Oh when you should know better You should know better... (I can't say it like I mean it anymore)
