Aimee Mann - Say Anything lyrics

though I deny it

and hold me like a grudge

then justify it

But when you make such claims

in searching for something that explains

please take a good look at our remains

'Cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and maybe there's room for compromise

but signs that I get say otherwise

say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

As hopeless as it seems

I wouldn't worry

You'll get your chance to tell

your side of the story

And, raising your right hand,

whatever defenses you had planned,

remember that when you take the stand -

If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and though I'd be happy to believe

I'd have to be much more naive -

say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

now I've heard everything

now I've heard everything

So why do I refuse

the truth, when I clearly cannot use

the comfort of one more lame excuse

'cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if you were everything you swear

we wouldn't be beyond repair

If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if there has got to be an if -

get it over with

say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

now I've heard everything

now I've heard everything
