Can't Say It Like I Mean It
Alison Moyet
Letra

Álbum: The Turn ( 2007)

 Intro 

verse 1

It s easier to forgive someone for being wrong 

Than for being right, isn t it? 

And how your angry tears will fall when all your plans 

Don t suit the one you made them for 

It comes to this 

Pre-Chorus

It s easier forgetting how you got to shore 

When every cloud that blows your way 

Is something else to blame me for 

Chorus 

Say it like you feel it 

You can t say it like you feel it anymore 

Say it like I mean it 

I can t say it like I mean it anymore 

verse 2

Hold it up to the light, it looks like love 

It s what the mirror says, you name it so 

But you cut your pretty shapes as paper flakes 

From careful sheets 

They blow away, not made to keep 

Pre-Chorus

What if alteration makes a little lie? 

When what you paint instead is easier on the eye 

Than what you hide 

Chorus 

Say it like you feel it 

You don t say it like you feel it anymore 

Say it like I mean it 

I can t say it like I mean it anymore 

Not anymore 

Solo 

Outro to fade 

There are people who you think you re gonna love forever 

Oh, when you should know better, you should know better 

Some people only see you as a move they re making 

Another step they re taking, a bet they re staking 

There are people who you think you re gonna love forever 

You re gonna stay together, you should know better 

Some people don t forgive you what you give up freely 

Or that you found it easy, they want to own completely 

There are people who you think you re gonna love forever 

Oh, when you should know better, you should know better 

Some people only see you as a move they re making 

Another step they re taking, a bet they re staking 

There are people who you think you re gonna love forever 

You re gonna stay together, you should know better
