Say It Anyway

Go tell your mother, go tell your friends
I've been useless again
I've been a juggler; I've been a clown
I'm on a tightrope, don't look down

How was I meant to know
I've been blind?
I'm just a writer with a
24-track mind

When there's nothing to say --
Nothing left to explain --
Or you don't want to say it
Just say it anyway
If to just fill the silence --
Uncomfortable silence --
When there's no escape
Come on and say it anyway
Say it anyway!

If you don't know by now
You won't know me at all

I've been an island; I've been the sea
You think, with all I have seen
I'd be the miner, but I am the bird
And every word seems so absurd

Don't try and pin me down:
I might explode
I'm just a brand with my
Very own bar code

When there's nothing to say --
Nothing left to explain --
Or you don't want to say it
Just say it anyway
If to just fill the silence --
Uncomfortable silence --
When there's no escape
Come on and say it anyway
Say it anyway!

If you don't know by now
You won't know me at all

Pa pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa

When there's nothing to say --
Nothing left to explain --
Or you don't want to say it
Just say it anyway
If to just fill the silence --
Uncomfortable silence --
When there's no escape
Come on and say it anyway

When there's nothing to say
Say it anyway

If to just fill the silence
Just say it anyway
Say it anyway!
