Tell It Like It Is Lyrics & Video

Say It say it say it Tell it like it is Say it say it say it Tell
it
like it is What breaks your heart What keeps you awake at night
What
makes you want to breakdown and cry But say you'll never turn
your back
Say you'll never harden to the world Say you'll never try to
steal the
rhythms in your breast Say you'll never look at the evil among
us and
try to forget Say you'll tell it like it is Say it say it say it
So
everyone can hear Say it say it say it Tell it like it is What
breaks
your heart What keeps you awake at night How your angry and
grief Make
you want to cry out And tell it like it is But say you'll never
close
your eyes Or pretend that it's a rosy world Say you'll never try
to
paint what is roten with a sugarcoat Say you'll talk about the
horrors
you've seen and the torment you know And tell it like it is Say
it say
it say it So no one can forget Say it say it say it Tell it like
it is
What breaks your heart What keeps you awake at night What makes
you want
to break the ties that silence and bind And tell it like it is
Say
you'll never cover your ears and close your mouth And live in a
silent
world Say you'll only run as far or as fast as you need to be
secure Say
that then you'll tell the truth When a lie could cross your lips
And
tell it like it is Say it say it say it Say it say it say it Say
it say
it say it Say it say it say it Say it say it say it Say it say
it say it
Say it say it Say it
