Tell It Like It Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sorry for starting an unpleasant conversation
I keep coming on too strong
Every time I try to let you know what I’ve been thinking
What I've been thinking turns out to be wrong
Ooh, here we go again
Ooh, how can I defend
Myself when your mind's made up?
Put me in my place, say it to my face, tell it like it is
How clearly you can see all that’s ailing me
And how I can fix the crack within my soul
'Cause you've got everything you need to know
Make the call and set me straight, don't let me get a word in
It's clear that I'm in need of serious help
It's like your lists go down the line of all my fears and failures
Give me some advice on getting well
Ooh, cut me down to size
Ooh, not apologize
For having an opinion
Put me in my place, say it to my face, tell it like it is
How clearly you can see all that’s ailing me
And how I can fix the crack within my soul
'Cause you've got everything you need to know
I've got news for you
What you are saying isn’t news to me
You are just an echo
Of the voice in my head whispering
Buddy, I've got news for you
Give it time and everyone will see
You're the great pretender
Of this host of sinners you are king
The cursed, the lost, the last and least of these
Put me in my place, say it to my face, tell it like it is
How clearly you can see all that’s ailing me
And how I can fix the crack within my soul
'Cause you've got everything you need to know
So tell me something that I do not know
