I´d better rest my eyes
´Cause I´m growing weary of
This point you´ve been trying to make
So rather than imply
Why don´t you just verbalize
All the things that you´re trying to say

Thought this would turn out so well
But I´m beginning to see
That instead it´s trouble
Into a pattern we fell
Of prolonging the inevitable

Why don´t you
Come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I´d rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don´t you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
What it is you´re thinking
Though I´m thinking it´s not what I wanna hear

I better check my pride
Because I was starting to think
I was on to something good
But things started to slide
And I sit here in retrospect
And understanding that I misunderstood
Thought I could make up your mind
And then this decision locks up
So tight it couldn´t be touched
Thought you were being so kind
But keeping your mouth sealed shut
Rather than just opening it up

Why don´t you
Come right out and say it?
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I´d rather have the truth
Than something insincere
Why don´t you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
What it is you´re thinking
Though I´m thinking it´s not what I wanna hear

And I tried
To guess what goes on in your head
´Cause in your mind
I just might find
All those things you left unsaid
And I´ll try to maybe not regret anything
Later on after I´m gone
You´ll wish that you
Had listened to me (listened to me)

Why don´t you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are gonna hurt
We´re better off this way
Why don´t you
Come right out and say come right out and say
What I know you´re thinking anyway
Why don´t you
Come right out and say it
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
I´d rather have the truth than something insincere
Why don´t you
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)
What it is you´re thinking
And just what it is you´re thinking
