[Intro]

Here I am in your face

Tellin' truths and not your old lies

Seems to me that you care

And I know that you're runnin' out of time

See, you can't get away

I'll be here forever and again

Whisperin' in your ear

Do believe 'cause you know you cannot win

[Verse 1]

Spent most your life pretending not to be

The one you are but who you choose to see

Learned to survive in your fictitious world

Does what they think of you determine your worth?

If special's what you feel when you're with them

Taken away, you feel "less than" again

(That's right)

[Chorus]

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs

Check in the mirror, my friend

No lies will be told then

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs

Check in the mirror, my friend

No lies will be told then

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

[Spoken]

There's a feeling inside

No, you cannot change it right away

Gotta make a try

And with time, it'll start to go away

I'll be here when you need

That one to sit and cry to

'Cause I'm the you you forgot

The only one you know you cannot lie to

[Verse 2]

Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways

When you hate you, you hate everyone that day

Unleash this scared child that you've grown into

You cannot run for you can't hide from you

Can't hide from you (That's right)

[Chorus]

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs

Check in the mirror, my friend

No lies will be told then (Yeah, yeah)

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean (Say what you mean)

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs

Check in the mirror, my friend (Check in)

No lies will be told then

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say (You can't blame nobody)

You gotta say what you mean

Tryin' to please everyone (You can't blame nobody)

Sacrifice your own needs

Check in the mirror, my friend

No lies will be told then (You can't blame nobody)

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

[Breakdown]

E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C

(You can't blame nobody but—)

E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C

(You can't blame nobody but you)

E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C

E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C

(Ah, that's right)

[Chorus]

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean (Say what you mean)

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs (Sacrifice your own needs)

Check in the mirror, my friend

No lies will be told then

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean (Yeah, yeah)

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs (Sacrifice your own needs)

Check in the mirror, my friend (Check in the mirror)

No lies will be told then

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you

[Bridge]

E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C (Pointin' the finger again)

You can't blame nobody but you

E-C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C (We're stealin' lives again)

[Chorus]

You can't blame nobody but you

You gotta mean what you say

You gotta say what you mean (Yeah, yeah)

Tryin' to please everyone

Sacrifice your own needs (Sacrifice your own needs)

Check in the mirror, my friend (Check in the mirror)

No lies will be told then

Pointin' the finger again

You can't blame nobody but you
