Say Anything Lyrics
You see me as a judge
Though I deny it
And hold me like a grudge
Then justify it
But when you take such pains
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
While you're 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
(I've heard everything)
Yeah, say anything
(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
Though I deny it
And hold me like a grudge
Then justify it
But when you take such pains
In searching for something that explains
Please take a good look at our remains
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
I wouldn't worry
You'll get your chance to tell
Your side of the story
While you're raising your right hand
Whatever defenses you had planned
Remember that when you take the stand
things would be different today
And though I'd be happy to believe
I'd have to be much more naive
Say anything
(I've heard everything)
Yeah, say anything
(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
Things would be different today
And if you were everything you swear
We wouldn't be beyond repair
Things would be different today
And if there has got to be an "if"
Get it over with
Now I've heard everything
Now I've heard everything

this song is about knowing someone who claims total innocence when it comes to how things turned out. they never accept responsibility for anything that happens, and she's basically saying "if you are as angelic as you say you are, then things wouldn't be as fucked up as they are, now would they?" after a short while, you really become fed up with the person's excuses...so you really feel like you've heard everything.
