Fly Lyrics: John Mayer's "Say"

Why do we hold things back in relationships? Perhaps things would work out that much better if we just said what was on our hearts, instead of allowing things to build up to their eventual boiling point. Just say it while you still can. John Mayer expresses this point beautifully in “Say,” this week’s Fly Lyrics Feature.

The Lyrics

Take out of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so called problems
Better put them in quotations
Say what you need to say

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for getting older
You better know that in the end its better to say to much
Than to never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Why?
Say what you need to say
