[Intro]
| G D | C | G D | C |
[Verse 1]
G D
You know that I'm hurting but what really hurts
C
is you could fix all of this if you said the word.
G D
But you'd never say it 'cause you've too much pride,
C
the worst thing about it is we're so damn alike.
[Pre-Chorus]
G D C
Oh, why are we so bad at showing emotion?
G D C
Are you scared your tears will turn into an ocean?
[Chorus]
G D
Oh, millions of people could be singing out loud
Em C
and I'd still be looking for you in a crowd.
G D
'Cause if you don't say it, none of it means shit,
Em C
all that I wanted was you to be proud.
G D Em C
Say it and mean it, oh, say it and mean it.
G D Em C
Say it and mean it, oh, say it and mean it.
[Verse 2]
G D
Yeah, I'm mad I said things that I never meant
C
but that was the old me that you still resent.
G D
I learned to have patience and speak the truth,
C
everything not to do, I learned that from you.
[Pre-Chorus]
G D C
Oh, why are we so bad at showing emotion?
G D C
Are you scared your tears will turn into an ocean?
[Chorus]
G D
Oh, millions of people could be singing out loud
Em C
and I'd still be looking for you in a crowd.
G D
'Cause if you don't say it, none of it means shit,
Em C
all that I wanted was you to be proud.
G D Em C
Say it and mean it, oh, say it and mean it.
G D Em C
Say it and mean it, oh, say it and mean it.
[Bridge]
G D C
All I ever wanted,
G D C
all I ever needed,
D Em
was for you to love me, out loud.
C
Look in my eyes and say that you're proud, that
G D C
all I ever wanted.
[End-Chorus]
G*
Oh, millions of people could be singing out loud
(Em) C
and I'd still be looking for you in a crowd.
G D
'Cause if you don't say it, none of it means shit,
Em C
all that I wanted was you to be proud.
G D Em C
Say it and mean it (siami), say it and mean it (siami).
G D Em C
Say it and mean it (siami), say it and mean it.
