What You Mean to Say
by Mike Donehey

Album: Work of Art

I need to shut up
Sometimes and listen to you
Even when you're feeling tongue tied
And you're fumbling through
Words sounds so
Different in our minds
How do they sound to you, oh

I wonder what you'll find
If I learn
To give you the time

To say what you mean to say
What you need to say
What you want me to know
C'mon and say
What you mean to say
What you need to say
What you gotta let go, oh, oh

I know I haven't always
Let you be free to
Say whatever's on your heart
Without feeling defeat
I tend to spend the story
In ways you don't mean
It's true

I'll bite my tongue
This time
Your words don't
Have to come out right

Yeah, you can say
What you mean to say
What you need to say
What you want me to know
C'mon and say
What you mеan to say
What you need to say
What you gotta let go, oh

Oh, I'm learning to trust you darling
When thе gloves come off
I will listen without defending
My gloves are on the ground
I wonder how the story will sound

When you can say
What you mean to say
What you need to say
What you want me to know
Yeah you can say
What you mean to say
What you need to say
What you gotta let go, oh, oh
