Maple Cap – Speeches lyrics

I knew a man one time ago
He always looked down a different road
I don't know what he had to be
But I knew that one day he would see

I remember the times we had
But I'll never go back down anymore
Cuz this is what he said for sure

He said
"Enough of the speeches
Enough of the preaching
Enough of the innocence
Enough of the ignorance
Enough of the 'I told you so' cuz I really just don't care
One more thing you gotta know about me
Is when I say what I say
It means I just don't care anyway"

He always had his mind
He had his fate laid out for me
So when I looked in his eyes
He asked me why
"Why do I try?"
Why?

So I took the chance
To turn this young man's life around
But he threw it to the ground

He said
"Enough of the speeches
Enough of the preaching
Enough of the innocence
Enough of the ignorance
Enough of the 'I told you so' cuz I really just don't care
One more thing you gotta know about me
Is when I say what I say
It means I just don't care anyway"

I will live right now
I will not go back down anymore
What could I want more?

"Enough of the speeches
Enough of the preaching
Enough of the innocence
Enough of the ignorance
Enough of the 'I told you so' cuz I really just don't care
One more thing you gotta know about me
Is when I say what I say
It means I just don't care anyway"
