If You Didn't Mean It

(album: Life Behind Machines - 2012)

When everything that comes from your mouth is
Overwhelmingly sarcastic
It's time to lower your defense
'Cause if you keep going on like this
I'll never know what to believe

If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
At the edge of what I can take
And the least you can do is give it to me straight

When everything is life or death,
Your words have started losing their effect
I can't keep being forced to guess
'Cause if you keep going on like this
I'll never know what to believe

If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
At the edge of what I can take
And the least you can do is give it to me straight

And as the camera pans out
The picture comes in clear
I guess we've always known
But pretended not to see it
We've all just wanted someone
To find a little comfort in
But if we can't get past this by now
We never will

You keep going on like this
I'll never know what to believe
I'm never gonna understand
If you won't ever let me in

If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
If you didn't mean it, then why did you say it?
If it's what you want, then why all the games?
At the edge of what I can take
And the least you can do is give it to me straight
