Say what you need to say

Okay, if you didn't know this, John Mayer is absolutely my favorite artist.  I don't know if it is because he can play the s**t of a guitar or his lyrics. Probably the lyrics, I am lyric person and I think very deeply sometimes.  A therapist once told me that I carry others' baggage-whether I know them or not...anyhow, there is one song of John Mayer's I love but I don't listen to very often but tonight the vino won the battle between me and this song.  The song is Say.  If you saw the movie The Bucket List, you might understand.  Shortly before this was released, my Dad died from lung cancer and my mother warned me not to watch it but I did and somehow Jack Nicholson looked and acted like my Dad.  The details of that part of life are boring but would look good on Jerry Springer.  Say...it's hard to listen to because it says lots of things we don't want to hear.  So here it is in black and white...so please say what you need to say to those you love because you just never know.  We all hear that all the time.  But REALLY do it.  Trust me, you won't be sorry.

Take all of your wasted honor,
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put 'em in quotations...

Walkin' like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moments
Knowin' you'd be better off instead
If You Could Only SAY what you need to say...

This is the hardest lyric for me because sometimes I can see my Dad's eyes closing even though I wasn't there and often my faith is broken...
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open, wide...

People!  Put the BS behind you because the person you care about the most might not be here tomorrow. If you have never had someone close to you die, you might not have any idea but those who have, they do know.  Don't waste one second. We all do it but really really really try to do better.  I will and I hope you will too.   Cause, "You better know that in the end, it's better to say too much then to never say what you need to say again."
