Shout It Out

I swear I heard you say, I love you
As I rolled my suitcase down the hall
But, then again, it might have been the wheels inside my mind
Trying to make sense of it all

I swear I heard you say, I’m sorry
As I drove off with all my things
Then again, it might have been the Santa Ana winds
Blowing through my guitar strings

You don’t talk about forgiveness
You never spoke about your pain
Come to think of it, my darling
You never said much of anything
I can see it in your eyes
There’s so much you need to say

So, shout it out
If you know this is the end
I don’t love you
Ain’t the kind of thing you say under your breath
Shout it out
If you never wanna see me again
Just shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out

I thought I heard a baby crying
As they rushed me down the hall
I needed you to tell me everything would be alright
But you said nothing at all

You don’t talk about the sorrow
You don’t talk about our pain
Come to think of it, my darling
You don’t say much of anything
But you can’t hide what’s in your eyes
There’s so much you need to say

So, shout it out
If you know this is the end
I don’t love you
Just ain’t the kind of thing you say under your breath
Shout it out
If you never wanna see me again
Just shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out

And the house is falling down
And the ghosts are moving in
You better find your own way out
‘Cause my coattails have worn thin
Silence just gets in the way
When there’s so much you need to say

So, shout it out
If you know that it’s the end
I don’t love you
Ain’t the kind of thing you just say under your breath
Shout it out
If you never wanna see me again
Shout it out
Shout it out, shout it out
