Say What You Want
Texas feat Method Man & RZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run, oh, no, no
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun, oh, no, no
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
What I am is what you want of me
Yeah, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned and I don't care
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run, oh, no, no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun, oh, no, no
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
I've said goodnight, try to sleep tight
Oh, just dream of me
Go close your eyes, 'cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you

Twenty seconds on the back time
I reminisce about the past for a short moment
I feel you're on the run
I sense that you're trying to avoid something
Never lived too long to make right
You haven't lived long enough to always make the right decision
I see you're doing fine
You seem to be doing well
And when I get that feeling
When I have that emotion
I can no longer slide
I can no longer avoid the situation
I can no longer run, oh, no, no
I can no longer escape from it
And when I get that feeling
When I have that emotion
I can no longer hide
I can no longer pretend it doesn't exist
For it's no longer fun, oh, no, no
It's no longer enjoyable
Yeah, you can say what you want
You can express whatever opinion you have
But it won't change my mind
But it won't alter my perception
I feel the same about you
I still have the same feelings towards you

What I am is what you want of me
You only want me for what I can give you
Yeah, now that I'm not there
Now that I'm gone
I took the tables away from you
I took control away from you
It's turned and I don't care
The situation has changed, but I'm indifferent to it
I've said goodnight, try to sleep tight
I've said my farewell, try to sleep well
Oh, just dream of me
Just think of me in your dreams
Go close your eyes, 'cause I've closed mine
Close your eyes, I've already closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Things will get better
Oh, when you dream of me
When you dream of me
