Things You Say
Pulser Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why don't you, why don't you say what you mean
Cos you never, ever say it to me
You keep me hanging or, so it seems
Where do I fit in, am I part of your scheme

So open up to me and say what's on your mind
Is it over for us now
Oh, why don't you, why don't you why don't you say what you mean

Why do you, always, do this to me
Is it all a big act
Who the hell are you trying to please
Secrets will always come out in the end
When you try and fake it, all I can see is pretend

So open up to me and say what's on your mind
It's not over for us now
Oh, why don't you, why don't you why don't you say what you mean

Just tell me the truth, I wanna hear it from you
Cos I don't know what you think, where you go, who you're with
Why won't you

Open up to me and say what's on your mind
Is it over for us now, oh
All that I want is for you to be honest and true




Just open up to me and say what's on your mind, cos I don't know
Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you say what you mean

Line by Line Meaning

Why don't you, why don't you say what you mean
Express yourself clearly, don't keep me guessing


Cos you never, ever say it to me
You never tell me what's really going on


You keep me hanging or, so it seems
Your ambiguous behavior is leaving me uncertain


Where do I fit in, am I part of your scheme
I feel like I'm just a pawn in your plan


Is it over for us now
Are we no longer together?


Why do you, always, do this to me
Why do you continually put me through this?


Is it all a big act
Are you pretending to be someone you're not?


Who the hell are you trying to please
What or who are you trying to impress?


Secrets will always come out in the end
Hiding the truth will never work out


When you try and fake it, all I can see is pretend
Your insincerity is transparent to me


Just tell me the truth, I wanna hear it from you
Be honest with me, I want to know


Cos I don't know what you think, where you go, who you're with
I'm completely in the dark about your thoughts and whereabouts


All that I want is for you to be honest and true
All I desire is for you to tell me the truth


Just open up to me and say what's on your mind, cos I don't know
Please communicate with me so I can understand what's happening


Why don't you, why don't you, why don't you say what you mean
Stop beating around the bush and be straightforward

this track brings me back to 2008 driving my first car down the freeway and forgetting about all the bs in life

@akraphotography

and here I am, 11 years on going through a divorce and hardest time in my life still listening. Don't get me wrong my life has been amazing and even better with music like this playing with it.
