like you mean it

Verse 1

Fast feet, slow brain, running yellow lights

Talking big like I got my life right

Checklist full of maybe laters

Future me’s got better behavior

I swear I had it handled

Till the moment unraveled

Now I’m laughing at the wreckage

Like I planned this angle

Turnaround

Count to three, miss the mark

Say too much, talk too hard

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Shout it till it sticks

I’m living in the fallout

Of another stupid wish

Hands high, no defense

Yeah I said it, yeah I meant it

Say it like you mean it

Even when you regret it

Verse 2

Half-truths dressed up clean

Full volume, low self-esteem

I overpromise, under-think

Trip on words before I blink

Everyone’s got receipts now

Every “never” comes back around

I draw the line, step across

Then act shocked when I’m called out

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need a warning sign

I ignore them every time

Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Shout it till it sticks

I’m living in the fallout

Of another stupid wish

Hands high, no defense

Yeah I said it, yeah I meant it

Say it like you mean it

Even when you regret it

Bridge (half-time, crowd chant)

I know, I know

I should learn by now

I know, I know

But I’m still figuring it out

Breakdown

No filter, no rewind

I press send on my worst side

If I crash, at least it’s mine

Yeah I own it every time

Final Chorus

Say it like you mean it

Sing it back again

Messy, loud, imperfect

But I’m standing where I land

Hands high, no pretense

If I fall, I won’t pretend

Say it like you mean it

We’re alive, not innocent

Outro

I’ll mess it up, I always do

But I’ll scream the truth

With you
