Say What You Mean Lyrics - Singles - Shannon Thomas

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
