I've never been so loud before

Just trying to make you understand my eyes and hands

But you don't even hear my call

And you make me wonder who I am

Do you know what I see?

I see myself cry

And say you won't be

Say you won't be mad

Do you know what I feel?

I'm sick of all your lies

Just say you want me

Say you want me bad

Say you won't be mad

Just say you want me

Say you want me bad

Do you know what I see?

I see myself cry

Do you know what I feel?

I'm sick of all your lies

We can't compete with speed of sound

'Cause heart is too hard to predict, you should admit

Slowly things will come around

I'm still waiting for you to say it, say it

Do you know what I see?

I see myself cry

And say you won't be

Say you won't be mad

Do you know what I feel?

I'm sick of all your lies

Just say you want me

Oh say you want me bad

Oh say you won't be mad

Just say you want me

Say you want me bad

Do you know what I see?

I see myself cry, ooh

Do you know what I feel?

I'm sick of all your lies
