[Verse 1]
Hate is a strong word
And I don't wanna live my life in fear
Say I will be heard
And I will promise this won't end in tears
Cuts like a sliver
And you can act like you're the one who's hurt
Cry me a river
But I'm the one that ends up drowning first

[Pre-Chorus]
Assassinate me right behind my back, now
But will you ever grow a spine?

[Chorus]
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Love is a lost word
Say it, and it disappears in air
Run around in circles
Cry wolf so many times, and no one cares
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't build a bridge you burned with those words
Save your breath, 'cause no one cares

[Chorus]
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)

[Bridge]
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew how much I meant to you, dear
Don't think you even know what's true
There will come a day where I don't need you

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
Say it out loud, say it out loud
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
[Outro]
Say it out loud (Say it out loud)
Say it out loud (Say it out loud)
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
Say it out loud (Say it out loud)
Say it out loud (Say it out loud)
Say it out loud right to my face (Oh-oh)
