You change your mind, you want it back
But time is all we never have and
Hope is at the feet of pain
A needle in the fallen hay, oh

The reason is to reason why
The poet carves his words from lies and
To call it this or to call it that
To let it out today

If I said something
If I said something
If I said something
Would I be wrong again

The city lights up like a curse
The blinding noise is getting worse and
The falling wind and falling rain
We fall apart and change our names and

Mercy holds her head up high
A cup so warm to lips so dry and
Time is all we never have
So is it time to change

If I said something
If I said something
If I said something
Would I be wrong again

If I said something
If I said something
If I said something
If I could speak
