Say It Again

Honesty and truth

I believe they’re what’s stopping you

And a crippling case of conscience too

But I really need to hear it, babe

Why don’t you just say it again?

Say you never needed me at all

Dewy-eyed, confused

It comes as a shock to you

That I’d ask this vile task of you

But I really need to hear it, babe

Why don’t you just say it again?

You’ve said it once, I’ll play along

Here’s what you’re gonna do

I climb down from the roof

Bring myself face to face with you

First you’re gonna put those bags away

Play the dirty game we play

And I’ll try my best to be in love

We spar in sweet untruths

It’s something to get us through

To kill some time ’til life’s conclusion

That’s when you’re gonna need to hear it, babe

Not truth, no, that’s when I’ll say

I’ll say whatever lie you want

The nights are long and my heart is heavy

Alone in the game and I miss my baby
