"Say"

John Mayer

Take all of your wasted honor

Every little past frustration

Take all of your so called problems

Better put 'em in quotations.

Say what you need to say

Walkin' like a one man army

Fightin' with the shadows in your head

Livin' up the same old moment

Knowin' you'd be better off instead

If you could only...

Say what you need to say

Have no fear for givin' in

Have no fear for giving over

You better know that in the end

It's better to say too much

than never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking

And your faith is broken

Even as the eyes are closin'

Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say

[It's the last stanza that hits me in the gut. Powerful. Beautiful.]
