Tell It Like It Is Songtext
von The Arcadian Wild

I′m sorry for starting an unpleasant conversation
I keep coming on too strong
Every time I try to let you know what I've been thinking
What I′ve been thinking turns out to be wrong

Ooh, here we go again
Ooh, how can I defend myself when your mind's made up?

Put me in my place
Say it to my face, tell it like it is
How clearly you can see all that's ailing me
And how I can fix the crack within my soul
′Cause you′ve heard everything you need to know

Make the call to set me straight, don't let me get a word in
It′s clear that I'm in need of serious help
Recite your list, go down the line of all my fears and failures
Give me some advice on getting well

Ooh, cut me down to size
Ooh, and I′ll apologize for having an opinion


Put me in my place
Say it to my face, tell it like it is
How clearly you can see all that's ailing me
And how I can fix the crack within my soul
′Cause you've heard everything you need to know

I've got news for you
What you are saying isn′t news to me
You are just an echo
Of the voice in my head whispering

"Hmm, buddy, I′ve got news for you
Give it time and everyone will see
You're the great pretender
Of this host of sinners, you are king
The cursed, the lost, the last and least of these"

Put me in my place
Say it to my face, tell it like it is
How clearly you can see all that′s ailing me
And how I can fix the crack within my soul
'Cause you′ve heard everything you need to know
So tell me something that I do not know
