What You Mean to Say

[Verse 1]
I need to shut up sometimes and listen to you
Even when you're feeling tongue tied and you're fumbling through
Words sounds so different in our minds, how do they sound to you?
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder what you'll find
If I learn to give you the time

[Chorus]
To say what you mean to say
What you need to say
What you want me to know
C'mon and say what you mean to say
What you need to say
What you gotta let go, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I know I haven't always let you be free
Say whatever's on your heart without feeling defeat
I tend to spend the story in ways you don't mean
It's true

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll bite my tongue this time
Your words don't have to come out right

[Chorus]
Yeah, you can say what you mean to say
What you need to say
What you want me to know
C'mon and say what you mеan to say
What you need to say
What you gotta let go, oh

[Bridge]
Oh, I'm learning to trust you darling
When thе gloves come off
I will listen without defending
My gloves are on the ground
I wonder how the story will sound

[Chorus]
When you can say what you mean to say
What you need to say
What you want me to know
Yeah you can say what you mean to say
What you need to say
What you gotta let go, oh, oh
