Blue October
Say It
[Verse 1:]
It's all about esteem, it's all about dreams
It's all about making the best out of everything
You'll know when you're fine, 'cause you'll talk like a mime
You'll fall on your face, you get back up, and you're doing fine
"A considerate clown, a preachy preaching machine"
Is one of the sweetest things you would say about me
But I don't have the time for your distorted esteem
Why are you toying with my mind?

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna hear you say it
I don't wanna hear you say it
I don't wanna hear you say it
Now you're messing with my pride

[Verse 2:]
You think you're smarter than me, well, everyone knows
You will never be smarter than me, that's how it goes
I gained forty pounds because of you
Was there an "S" on my chest?
Well I confess, you were too much stress
I'd have a heart attack at best
So now I breathe it out, I breathe it out
And I spit it on the crowd
'Cause they lift me up, they lift me up
They lift me up when I'm feeling down
What am I spitting out, spitting out?
Something we never talk about
It's called my mind
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna hear you say it
I don't wanna hear you say it
I don't wanna hear you say it
Now you're messing with my pride

[Bridge:]
Well, I'm sick of standing in your line
So now you'll have to take it
Take this to heart: I will never let you fuck me over
Stop talking down to me
Your war is old, your game is over
So here's my coldest shoulder

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna hear you say it
I don't wanna hear you say it
I don't wanna hear you say it
Now you're messing with my pride, my pride

[Outro:]
Something we don't talk about
Something we don't talk about
