[Verse 1] Maybe you should say it plain Maybe drop the veil tonight 'Cause I'm done with the half-truth And the pretty little white You keep it on your tongue Like a coin you won't spend But I can read your hands When they twitch at the end [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like you mean it Don't dress it up in lace If the truth is ugly Let it show its face I'm standing right here No game left to play If you want me near you Then say it that way [Chorus] Say it plain Say it plain I can take the cut If it hits my veins Say it plain Say it plain I'm done with the soft lie I'm done with the chain [Verse 2] You smile with your mouth But your eyes look away Like you packed up the storm And called it a day I don't need sweet smoke I don't need the spin Just the raw little truth Let it let me in [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like you mean it Don't dress it up in lace If the truth is ugly Let it show its face I'm standing right here No game left to play If you want me near you Then say it that way [Chorus] Say it plain Say it plain I can take the cut If it hits my veins Say it plain Say it plain I'm done with the soft lie I'm done with the chain [Bridge] If you care, then care out loud If you're leaving, leave tonight I can handle broken I can handle light But don't hand me sugar When the bitter's on your breath I'd rather hear the damage Than the silence dressed as death [Final Chorus] Say it plain Say it plain I can take the cut If it hits my veins Say it plain Say it plain I'm done with the half-truth I'm done with the chain Say it plain Say it plain Drop the veil tonight Say it plain
