You see me as a judge though I deny it

and hold me like a grudge then justify it

 But when you take such pains

in searching for something that explains

 please take a good look at our remains

 'Cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and maybe there's room for compromise

 but signs that I get say otherwise

say anything

As hopeless as it seems I wouldn't worry

You'll get your chance to tell your side of the story

 And, raising your right hand

whatever defenses you had planned

 remember that when you take the stand

 If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and though I'd be happy to believe

 I'd have to be much more naive

say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

now I've heard everything now I've heard everything

 So why do I refuse

the truth, when I clearly cannot use

 the comfort of one more lame excuse

 'cause if you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if you were everything you swear

we wouldn't be beyond repair

If you were everything you say

things would be different today

and if there has got to be an if

 get it over with

say anything, 'cause I've heard everything

now I've heard everything I've heard everything

now I've heard everything now I've heard everything
