| | Say Lyrics Artist(Band):John Mayer
Take all of your wasted honor Every little past frustration Take all of your so-called problems, Better put 'em in quotations Say what you need to say [x8] Walking like a one man army Fighting 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 [x8] Have no fear for giving in Have no fear for giving over You'd better know that in the end Its better to say too much Then never 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 Say what you need to say [x24] If you find some error in Say Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Mey for submitting the lyrics. Review about Say magical | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/22/09 listening to this song just reminds me that you should never let a day go by without telling someone how you feel about them. You never know how it will impact them and just might brighten a day without ever knowing you did. Action Speak Louder... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/23/09 It's a great song. And the chorus is indeed like a mantra. Most often less is more, and these simple lyrics are just that, more. I'd say, put into 'action' even moreso than in quotations. Consistent action speak volumes louder than words. "I love you", comes too esy. Which isn't saying, words don't count, they do. Just back them up with action and watch your world transform into what you've been dreaming it could be. Take a chance and believe in yourself and in others. Nuff said. Peace out. Someone told me to listen to this song... | Reviewer: crfclassic | 3/17/09 I didn't know why she was telling me to do this, but eventually I did, and read the lyrics to fully realize why she insisted I listen to this. Its understood now, and while a song can't change your life having a great friend like her certainly can. SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY | Reviewer: Chris | 12/20/08 this song is amazing. it really is. i've heard this songs PLEANTY of times on the radio. The thing is, when i heard it on the radio i never thought much about it. It was a shame though, because the message was right there. I finally took this song in after watching the movie the "Bucket List" I guess i needed an example to go along with the song. (in the movie) In the last moments of their lives, they did all the things they wanted to do before it was too late. This song goes hand in hand with the movie. And delivers the powerful message of expressing your feelings before you lose that chance. Tomorrow is never promised to us, so take a chance. You got one life. There is a reason for repetition of the chorus. It's basically making sure that it sticks in your head. It's kind of like when you're in a situation where you want to say or do something, but cant. It keeps going through your head "Say what you need to say, Say what you need to say." Love it | Reviewer: Kat | 12/4/08 Growing up, I've almost always had to be the "strong" one in the family, even if I am the youngest child. I couldn't share my feelings, I just had to put on a smile and hope for the best. I'm the same way today, almost 20 years old and still hiding my emotions from just about everyone in my life. This song is wonderful, I know that I'll be playing it in the back of my mind when I need to tell people different things. Right now, I've got quite a few different conversations that I need to get done and over with, even if I am scared to say everything. But, as John says, "It's better to say too much, Than never to say what you need to say again". Don't miss the point | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/08 This song reminds me of the day my father died. He had a massive stroke and was brain dead. We were in that strange state of needing to talk to him, but not knowing if he could hear or understand us. Either way, my family and I went in and said what we needed to say. When I went in i really felt like a one man army...fighting all instints of not wanting to say good bye. I didn't hear this song until a couple of months later when Bucket list came out. Everytime I hear this song I relive that moment in the hospital. It makes me so sad, but also relieved that I said what I needed to say. I hope that someone reading this will say what they need to say before it is too late. I did it "as the eyes are closing". Please do it before that moment happens in your life. I think that the repetitiveness of the chorus is soothing, when you are in a tough position it is like a mantra...."Say what you need to say". THIS SONG STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Sue | 11/25/08 it plats everyyyyyyy single day on the radio.... atleast 3 times!!!!!!! and certainly there are ppl out there that love it but it stinkssssss!!!!!!!! A little bit more of creativity in the chorus please!!!!! someone should do a remix of it LOL Taking Chances! | Reviewer: Patriece | 11/19/08 Life is too short to not say what you want to say....to say what you need to say. It is the repetiveness that empowers you to do just that. It was this song that made me take a chance on love again when I was ready to walk away. You guys seriously think he was being meaningful? | Reviewer: Niki | 11/14/08 The lyrics aren't beautiful at all. They're schmaltzy and cliche and obviously repetitive. First of all, don't get me started on the 40 lines of "Say What You Need to Say" and the ridiculous irony of him never saying it. Second, "better put them in quotations"? What the heck kind of advice is that? That's just nonsensical. Maybe he could have used a cliche there. Which brings me to my third point: each verse (yes, there are verses hidden amongst the Attack of the Repeated Chorus Line) reads like an angsty 10th grader's poetry journal after he just lost his first love when she got mad because he wore his Chuck Taylors to Homecoming to be original and edgy. "Do it with a heart wide open"? "Fighting with the shadows in your head"? Bah. It sounds like The Sphinx from Mystery Men: When you care what is outside, what is inside cares for you. Ambiguous, generic lyrics meant to make you think that he wrote them in a fit of passion to help you heartbroken and weary out there connect to him, like that song was written exactly for you and your situation. Get real, guys. He probably wrote them while waiting for his eggs at a diner. (In fact, he probably used up all the napkins writing the chorus over and over and over and over and over...) Listen | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/6/08 Well I think this is a great song. IM still preety young, goin through life, hitting bumbs in the road. But all I can do is say what I really think I need to. This song brings out a HUGE moral. Ya it kinda repeats a lot. but you need to hear it many many times to get it. Life is hard. But please dont give up and just get it out and say what you need to!!
