Say Anything
Oppera Lyrics

we don't need to understand
We don't necessarily need to comprehend all the reasons behind the things that happen between us.

why we misunderstand
Why we have trouble comprehending situations that occur between us.

say anything to me
Feel free to speak your mind.

we don't have to agree
Finding mutual agreement isn't always necessary.

that we just disagree
It's possible that we just have different perspectives.

have you always been like this
Have you always held this particular disposition?

is it something that i missed
Is there some detail that I'm not accounting for?

i didn't know that you were out of your mind
I wasn't aware that your thoughts were not altogether sound.

when we met you seemed so kind
You appeared to exhibit such a kindly nature when we first crossed paths.

don't take this the wrong way
Please don't misinterpret what I'm saying.

and please don't run away
And please don't flee from this conversation.

have you always been so sad
Have you always possessed such a despondent demeanor?

no reason you should be
There seems to be no reasonable explanation for why you feel this way.

toss and turn all night
You seem to be restless throughout the night.

your pillow's never dry
Your pillow always seems to be dampened by your tears.

but i'm right beside you
But know that I'm with you.

even if i have to fight you
Even if I must challenge you at times.

so hot headed but your heart is cold
You can often be rash, but at the same time, you may display a lack of emotion.

tug of war is growing old
Our constant battles are becoming tiresome.

one of these days this will stop
Eventually, this will cease to continue as it has.

and i don't care who's on top
I don't necessarily need to be the one who emerges victorious.

painful decision
Making a choice that causes severe distress.

harmless incision
Presenting a cut that isn't necessarily damaging, but still somewhat irritating.

broken window
A window that's been shattered.

rotted vine
A vine that's decomposed.

busy signal
The sound that echoes when someone is already using a given telephone line.

squiggly line
A line that's not straight and appears to have waves throughout it.

phony laughter
An insincere expression of amusement.

crying shame
A cause for sorrowful disappointment.

do i know you
Am I familiar with who you are?

what's in a name
Names sometimes carry different meanings based on their context.

you know it's serious
The situation is notably stern and requires attention.

when it's just a game
Though the situation may appear lighthearted, it deserves more recognition.

living your life under a microscope
Your existence feels like it's being closely monitored by others.

got us both at the end of our rope
We're both nearing the end of our respective limits.

running out of time
Feels as though our time is dwindling.

what's yours is yours
What belongs to you is distinctly yours.

mine is mine
What I own is specifically mine.

day by day we act out the same play
Our frequent interactions feel like we're repeatedly performing the same rehearsed script.

say the words we have to say
Expressing the messages that we're obligated to assert.

but i love you
Despite the previously mentioned difficulties, I bear an affection for you.

and you love me
Additionally, you also appear to hold an affection for me.

anyway
Nevertheless, despite any other factors.
