“There I Said It” is a track from Adam Lambert’s album The Original High.
Adam sings about how he offers his honesty and true, best self to the world, just to be rejected and made to feel like he’s not enough, and needs to apologise for the way that he is. He has had enough of the way he’s been tre...
[Verse 1]
You say you want the truth, but you can't take it
So I give you lies
I give you lies
You say you want the best, but you destroy it
So I keep it inside
I keep it inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll tell ya something
It's a double-edged sword you're givin'
And I can't see the truth in livin'
When we hide behind a wall of fear
And you don't see it
It's a twisted dream you believe in
And what's the use in pretendin'?
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear
[Chorus]
So there, I said it
And I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I won't live again
And I'm sick and tired of livin' in your shadow
So there, I said it
No, I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I don't understand
Why I should be livin' in the shadows
So there, I said it
[Verse 2]
You wanna hear my voice, my mind, my demons
But not too much
Or you'll give up
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll tell ya something
It's a double-edged sword you're givin'
And I can't see the truth in livin'
When we hide behind a wall of fear
And you don't see it
It's a twisted dream you believe in
And what's the use in pretendin'?
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear
[Chorus]
So there, I said it
And I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I won't live again
And I'm sick and tired of livin' in your shadow
So there, I said it
No, I won't apologize to you anymore
'Cause I'm a grown ass man
And I don't understand
Why I should be livin' in the shadows
So there, I said it
