Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
You've been keeping all your feelings locked up tight
Leaving me to guess at wrong or right
I don't need the riddles, I don't need the games
Just a simple answer, calling out my name
[chorus]
Speak, speak, tell me what you're feeling
Speak, speak, stop your ceiling
Won't you speak, speak, give me something real
Speak, speak, tell me how you feel
[verse]
I've been standing here with open hands so long
Waiting for a word to make it strong
Maybe you're afraid of what the truth might bring
But silence never made a heart take wing
[chorus]
Speak, speak, tell me what you're feeling
Speak, speak, stop your ceiling
Won't you speak, speak, give me something real
Speak, speak, tell me how you feel
[bridge]
It don't have to be a poem or a song
Just a little truth to carry on
I can take it soft or I can take it hard
Just don't leave me standing in the dark
[chorus]
Speak, speak, tell me what you're feeling
Speak, speak, stop your ceiling
Won't you speak, speak, give me something real
Speak, speak, tell me how you feel
