I better rest my eyes 'cause I am 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?

I guess it turned 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?
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 onto something good
But things started to slide
And I'm thinking in retrospect, understanding that I misunderstood

Thought I could make up your mind
You had a decision locked up so tight, it couldn't be touched
Thought you were being so kind
By 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
And why don't you come right out and say it?
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking, it's not what I wanna hear

And now try to guess what goes on in your head
'Cause in your mind, I just might find all those things you left unsaid
Now try to make you not regret anything, later on, after I'm gone
You'll wish that you had listened to me, had 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?
What it is you're thinking, oh, what is it you're thinking?

Why don't you?
What it is you're thinking
Though I'm thinking, it's not what I wanna hear
