What do You Want Me to Say?

By: Taylor Boggess

Verse 1

If it’s so easy to say,

Then why’s it so hard to write or to play?

Words and phrases,

in bursts and phases,

But none seem to stick to the page.

You never fail to inspire,

You’re all the motive a man could require.

My only weakness,

You leave me speechless,

Like a child petrified on the stage.

Build 1

Please tell me why,

‘though I can try,

My words will never be enough.

Chorus 1

What do you want me to say?

You bring the light to my day.

A spot of color in the gray.

My favorite reason to stay.

Stand by me all through the night,

Please let the words come out right,

What do you want me to say?

Verse 2

If it’s been written before,

How am I supposed to add any more?

Ballads and sonnets,

Go on and on it’s,

just, Too hard to find something new.

You know you’re one of a kind.

The only person whose always on my mind.

I’ll say with my voice:

“You gave me no choice,

I swear you must have made me love you.”

Build 2

I won’t deny,

It hurts to try,

To make my next words be enough.

Chorus 2

What do you want me to say?

You bring the light to my day.

A spot of color in the gray.

My favorite reason to stay.

Stand by me all through the night,

You never cease to amaze.

Stay with you all of my days.

The clearest shape through the haze.

My moon when I’m out of phase.

Stand by me all through the night,

Please let the words come out right,

What do you want me to say?

Bridge

Please!

I’m begging please!

There’s so much that I need to say.

Please!

I’m on my knees!

I don’t believe, I can’t conceive,

I won’t achieve, my last reprieve,

Just make my last words be enough.

Chorus 3

What do you want me to say?

You bring the light to my day.

A spot of color in the gray.

My favorite reason to stay.

Stand by me all through the night,

You never cease to amaze.

Stay with you all of my days.

The clearest shape through the haze.

My moon when I’m out of phase.

Stand by me all through the night,

Please let the words come out right,

What do you want me to say?
