They Say (Steve Hill) I can take it, how long will it last I can make, but it’s fading fast I blind eye turned and covered the other up Ten years of going strong, nine years of breaking up You see it fade away, so easy for so long I saw it coming, still I wondered what went wrong They say to do as they say, not as they do I say it’s not the way to get your point of view Talk to me, I’ll wait to you get it figured out Whispers always will be heard, louder than any shout Common sense is really not that common anymore Think you’re flying high, when your crawling on the floor They say to roll over, I say it’s always fear They say it’s almost over, I say it’s almost here They say that is alright, I say it’s never clear They say to hold on tight, I say I’m out of here You see a book with pictures , And you read between the lines You bought it for the cover, This should have been a sign Some books were made for burning, Some pages stick from turning I picked it up for months, Then found it in the oven burning You see the color black and want to paint it white I saw the lonely days fade into lonely nights Watching people laugh with a tear behind their eye If you have to say you’re honest, your caught up in a lie All I can do, is take a breath and sigh I might just leave, before I say goodbye They say, they do, but they don’t know me And they don’t know you They say, they do, but they don’t know me And they don’t know you They say, they do They say to roll over, I say it’s always fear They say it’s almost over, I say it’s almost here They say that is alright, I say it’s never clear They say to hold on tight, I say it’s black and white
