Shannon Thomas Say What You Mean Lyrics

Help me understand this
I just can't get around it
Everybody loves the same things
How can it be?

You say what you're supposed to say
It's not what you'd like to think
You're a copy of a copy
'Cause you hate to disagree

Say what you mean
Mean What you say
I don't know why you're running away
From who you really are
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I don't know why you're running away
From who you really ought to be

What would you do if all your friends
Just started disappearing?
Suddenly you'd have to use your head
Your own eyes, your own ears
For opinions

Say what you mean Mean what you say
I don't know why you're running away
From who you really are
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I don't know why you're running away from who you really ought to be

Stop lying to youself and everyone else
Just to fit into the mold they made for you
You've got to learn to refuse their help
What would you really choose to do
If no one was watching you

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I don't know why you're running away
From who you really are
Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I don't know why you're running away
From who you really ought to be
