Say What You Want
WESTLAND Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Into the fire, into the fire
I hope we don't burn
My little liar, my little liar
When will you finally learn?

When exactly did you decide to quit on me?
Say the moment and I'll go back and change history.
Oh yeah...

Say what you want now,
We can work this out.
Communicate with words,
Not actions that hurt.
Say what you want now,
We can work this out.
Communicate with words,
Not actions that hurt
Let me down.

Into the fire, into the fire
I hope we don't burn
My little liar, my little liar
When will you finally learn?

When exactly did you decide to quit on me?
Say the moment and I'll go back and change history.
Oh yeah...

Say what you want now,
We can work this out.
Communicate with words,
Not actions that hurt.
Say what you want now,
We can work this out.
Communicate with words,
Not actions that hurt
Let me down, down, me down
(Don't let me down)

Last chance to love me,
Cause when I'm gone, I am gone.
Last chance to love me,
Cause when I'm gone, I am gone, gone.

Gone, gone, gone...

Say what you want now,
We can work this out.
Communicate with words,
Not actions that hurt.
Say what you want now,
We can work this out.
Communicate with words,
Not actions that hurt
Let me down
(Last chance to love me, last chance to love me)




Down, me down
'Cause when I'm gone, I am gone
