Say It
If you don’t like me,
Say it to my face.
Got a problem with me?
Say it to my face.
Don’t want to talk to me?
Say it to my face.
If you hate me, wish I was dead,
would disappear to never return again,
Say it to my face.
If I’ve been a bad friend, annoyed you,
or offended you with my actions or my words,
Say it to my face.
Because life would be a whole lot clearer
if I knew what I was dealing with.
So just open up your mouth
and tell me.
I’ve told you before, I value your honesty.
I want to know, so speak your words,
whether they are hurtful or in spite,
I don’t care.
Quit spreading rumors because I’m
the one you have a problem with.
Well, I’m listening.
Just say it to my face.
