Say the Things (You Want) Lyrics

These are the word I will say
This is the story I'll tell
When I speak your name
You'll probably like it yourself

That's what I never could take
You wanted me when and you wont admit
and the rest was just a waste of your time

I'll say the words that you want
I though that you love me but you don't, you don't
And now its two become three
If you're hurting I can't see
And you're taking whats left of me

For what its worth I believed
Every word that you said
So here is what I will say
With these last wasted breaths
Take take take take
Back your promises and your sweet kisses
That I though were only for me

To find myself at the end
of these lines that you're selling
It's telling

I would have always gave in
But those late nights and phone calls
Whispering everything I'd ever want

For what its worth I believed
Every word that you said
So here is what I will say
With these last wasted breaths
Take take take take
Back your promises and your sweet kisses
That I though were only for me

You took
My heart out
Of me
I though you love me but you don't 'cause
You took
My heart out
of me
I waited for
You to answer why
But waiting is not

This is the story I'll tell
You wanted me when and you wont admit

For what its worth I believed
Every word that you said
So here is what I will say
With these last wasted breaths
Take take take take
Back your promises and your sweet kisses
That I though were only for me

I don't have the actual lyrics or anything, but I keep hearing:

"You wanted me when you wanted me", not "and you won't admit", but I'm not 100% sure.

yeah, that's right

I keep hearing "you wanted me when you wanted me" too. Anyways, this song is pretty straightforward for an Emery song. It is about a girl who has manipulated a guy in a relationship, taking advantage of him and leading him on.

"I would have always gave in But those late nights and phone calls Whispering everything I'd ever want

For what its worth I believed Every word that you said So here is what I will say With these last wasted breaths Take take take take Back your promises and your sweet kisses That I though were only for me"

Pretty straightforward. She cheated on him and he became hurt and angry, and the song leaves the listener with that.

"for what its worth I believed Every word that you said So here is what I will say With these last wasted breaths Take take take take Back your promises and your sweet kisses That I though were only for me "

Yeah, I think there are some mistakes. I always hear "you wanted me when you wanted me". An also "I thought you'd love me but you don't". I think it's basically about this love not being what he expected, or what the girl promised. They seem to sing about that a lot. They are a christian band, so you could possibly delve a little deeper with this being about sin. How it promises the world and then leaves you alone in the dark. At least that's another meaning I get when i listen to it. I just love their music as well, it's so unlike other bands which is rare these days.
