Say what you want 'Cause I can't hear you anyway Go where you will I won't steer you or lead you either way Did you just fail to mention Maybe I can make you smile again Make you smile and after a while, say Did I just get your attention Did you notice that I changed my style and then Made me smile, but it's not my style Still say what you want 'Cause I can't hear you anyway Go where you will I won't steer you or lead you either way Did you lose your medication Or did you just want to be with me again I'll set you free, now let me be This has been an education Every bit of its reminding me of them Reminding me there is no we Now say what you want 'Cause I can't hear you anyway Go where you will I won't steer you or lead you either way I've been running through the timelines Picturing the headlines, but from memory You weren't even in the room then Is it safe to just assume then You won't make an ass of me, well Say what you want 'Cause I can't hear you anyway Go where you will I won't steer you or lead you either way (I won't lead you either way) I won't steer you or lead you either way
