Say It In Front Of Them

[Intro — Voice 1] You said it when she wasn’t here. Say it now. [Verse 1 — Voice 1] You told me she was getting difficult You told her I was hard to trust You gave us each a private version Then stood between the separate dust [Voice 2 — quick] Date, place, message, time Same excuse with different lines You call confusion chemistry I call it strategy [Pre-Chorus — Voice 5] You were fearless in the hallway You were certain on the phone Now the women you divided Are all standing in one room [Chorus — Voice 3] Say it in front of them Say I was crazy Say she was jealous Say they betrayed me Say it in front of them Do not lower your voice You built your power from the distance Now you do not have the choice [Verse 2 — Voice 4] You told me they had laughed about me When I cried after the show You knew exactly which small fracture Would make me pull away and go [Voice 1] You called isolation loyalty Called suspicion being wise But every time we checked the story Your concern became a lie [Pre-Chorus — Voice 2] No more separate conversations No more editing the scene Put your courage on the table Tell us what you really mean [Chorus] Say it in front of them Say I was crazy Say she was jealous Say they betrayed me Say it in front of them Do not lower your voice You built your power from the distance Now you do not have the choice [Bridge — isolated member testimony] [Voice 1] You said she wanted my place [Voice 2] You said I made everything a race [Voice 3] You said my power made you small [Voice 4] You said nobody loved me at all [Voice 5] You said each woman was the threat [All] We compared what you said [Final Chorus — near a cappella opening] Say it in front of them [Silence] That is what we thought
