V1:
Hey listen girl/
You got something on your mind/
Well let it out/
Cause there's no reason for you/
To scream and shout/
Cause I hear all your empty words clear and loud/
(clear and loud)
You wanna vent/
But when you're venting you don't /
Make sense/
Your constant nagging is the worst consequence/
There's ever been/
(Ever been)
B:
And have you seen my thoughts?/
Cause i can't hear them now/
Cause when you speak your mind/
You speak it way too loud/
Hook:
Say it, Say it/
I understand you wanna let it out/
Say it, Say it/
But can you please turn your volume down/
I might be gone when you come back/
Cause I can't take no more
V2:
It's not OK/
You can't just say/
Whatever you wanna say/
You think the arguing's gon/
Make me wanna stay?/
Are you ok?/
Are you ok?/
Go take a walk/
You're supposed to do the thinking/
Before you talk/
Ain't supposed to talk and then think/
Cause that ain't smart/
I saw your light once/
but now it's turning dark/
B:
I see you move your mouth/
Yeah i see words come out/
But every word that flies/
Just turns my love to doubt/
Hook:
Say it, Say it/
I understand you wanna let it out/
Say it, Say it/
But can you please turn your volume down/
I might be gone when you come back/
Cause I can't take no more
Bridge:
More (repeats)
Hook:
Say it, Say it
Say it, Say it
