Be my mirror; show me what I can change Don't go, I know that you know Don't let me down softly Well, this all happened on a sunny day You still couldn't see it when it was just a half an inch away Staring you right in the face saying, "Why can't you just say what you mean? Why can't you say what you mean, baby?" Shuffling sideways There's no way to get home You're so slippery, frozen, ice cold, alone Now I see that you're expression has changed Are you wishing you saved my place? You're standing on the ocean floor Wondering what you could have said before But why can't you just say what you mean? Why can't you say what you mean, baby? Well I've been working too many hours Only for your loose change The place is messy, complicated And it only gets you back out And I want out Why can't you just say what you mean? Why can't you say what you mean? Why can't you say what you mean, baby?
