Say It Simply

(album: Mockingbird - 2015)

Say it simply or don't say it at all
I can't read the writing on the wall
Break it to me for once and for all
Say it simply or don't say it at all

I was a righteous man who's been played a fool
I was an honest man who played by the rules
Now I'm a broken man who's swallowed his pride
So I'll let you go
If you say it's so
Then I will abide

But say it simply or don't say it at all
I can't read the writing on the wall
Break it to me for once and for all
Say it simply or don't say it at all

Paint me a picture, sing me a song
Tell me a story and I'll play along
Please don't walk out the door telling me lies
Then how will I know
Why you would go?
Why you would cry?

But say it simply or don't say it at all
I can't read the writing on the wall
Break it to me for once and for all
Say it simply or don't say it at all
Break it to me for once and for all
Say it simply or don't say it at all
