They can be cruel

Can be hurtful and tear you down

I'm gonna let you know

They say you're a fool

And that you'll never be anyone

You're unoriginal

And though the words tear you apart

Break your heart, start thinking 'bout the

Reason that you're running away

Don't give them the satisfaction

Of a typical reaction

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say

You say, you keep on letting fear get in the way

The way is hard but soon enough you'll be ok

Ok, so take a breath and try another day

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say

You say, you'll never let your fear get in the way

Ok, so take a breath and fight another day

Today, put who you really are out on display

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say

--

Say what you need to say

Even when it feels like you're

Confidence is crumbling down

Say what you need to say

Cause they can't tell you who you are

And they're not going to now

And so be proud of who you are

And let the scars start healing

And remember though it may be cliché

That their opinion doesn't matter

So forget about the laughter

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say

You say, you keep on letting fear get in the way

The way is hard but soon enough you'll be ok

Ok, so take a breath and try another day

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say

You say, you'll never let your fear get in the way

Ok, so take a breath and fight another day

Today, put who you really are out on display

Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say

Be somebody else

Be somebody else

You don't have to try to be somebody else

Yeah, you just gotta stand up for yourself

Stand up for yourself

You don't have to try to be somebody else

Yeah, you're never gonna

Be somebody else

Be somebody else

You don't have to try to be somebody else

Yeah, you just gotta stand up for yourself

Stand up for yourself

You don't have to try to be somebody else

Say what you need to say

(adlib)

Oh, say what you need to say
