You Say
Elliott Yamin Lyrics

Maybe it was wrong to say
Perhaps I made a mistake by keeping quiet

Nothing as you walked away
I said nothing as you left

Baby, I know you've been confused
I understand that you've been perplexed

Telling me that it's too late
Saying that it is too late

I thought you'd say goodbye for good
I expected you to leave me forever

But you're still here with me
But you're still by my side

How did we get so misunderstood
How did we become so confused?

'Cause you say you ain't got time for me
Because you claim you don't have time for me

Actions speak louder than words
Deeds make more noise than words

You try to say you'd rather be all by yourself
You attempt to express that you prefer to be alone

Ooh but I can see the way
Oh, but I can discern the manner

The way you look at me
The manner in which you gaze at me

And baby, I don't believe, believe what you say
And darling, I don't accept, accept what you express

You know that it's cool to look
You know that you look great

Look the way you do tonight
You look fantastic this evening

Girl, you know I'm onto you
Lady, you're aware that I'm aware of your intentions

'Cause something just don't add up right, no
Because something doesn't seem right

I thought you said you felt unsure
I assumed that you lacked confidence

Oh, but hearts don't lie
Oh, but emotions are truthful

Cause now you're back at my front door, ooh
Because now you're standing at my doorstep again

Let start over again
Let us begin anew

We don't have to pretend
We don't need to feign

That it's over, it's over
That it's finished, it's finished

Oh, I don't believe what you say
Oh, I don't accept what you express

You thought I didn't care
You believed that I was indifferent

I thought you wouldn't stay
I assumed that you wouldn't remain

I hope we can go forth from on this day
I hope we can move forward from today
