Say Anything Lyrics - Whatever - Aimee Mann

You see me as a judge 

Though I deny it 

And hold me like a grudge 

Then justify it 

But when you make such claims 

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, 'cause I've heard everything 

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 

Now I've heard everything
