Say
Take out of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so called problems
Better put them in quotations
Say what you need to say (8x)
Walkin like a one man army
Fightin with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say (8x)
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for getting older
You better know that in the end its better to say too much
Than to never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Why?
Say what you need to say (25x)
I really like this new John Mayer song. These words really make me think. Why are we so afraid to say what we need to say? Is it because for fear of getting hurt, fear of the unknown, fear of being laughed at, or maybe it's because we fear rejection? Rejection from those we love, those we like, those we admire and look up to? We all have so many things that we want to say, that we need to say. Words in our mind and heart that depict what we are feeling. Things that are simple - like putting in your two sense into a conversation with friends. Things that are a little more complicated, like explaining how you feel when someone does or says something that you don't like or agree with, or saying the simple words "I like you" or "I love you", "I need you and I want you". Why do we always wait until it's almost too late to say what we need to say? Why are we always waiting for that perfect moment, that perfect timing and place? What if there was no perfect time? What if we are always waiting for that perfect moment, and the chance slips right through our fingers? Could we ever get it back? Does that mean that it wasn't meant to be, or do we just have to keep trying. How long would someone wait to say that important thing? Because there will be a time when it'll be too late to say the words that you didn't say, that you could have said, the words that you should have said. How long will you wait?
