[Intro]
Yeah
Uh

[Verse 1]
Say what you want, say what you want, girl, you got me
Know what I want, know what I want, now that just leaves you
All of the shit, all of the bliss, tell me something real
Tell me something real

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's bad, you know that I notice
We go in and out of focus
Know what you wanna ask me
Baby, I know that you're nervous
When I'm gone, everything changes
Walls going up like we strangers
Took me forever to say this

[Chorus]
Baby, we should say it all, say it all
There's beauty in these broken walls, broken walls
Holding back is criminal, criminal
Baby, we should say it all, say it all
Yeah, baby, we should say it all, say it all
There's beauty in these broken walls, broken walls
One of us should make the call, make the call
Baby, we should say it all, say it all

[Verse 2]
Sick and tired of these days and nights when you just ain't around
Reaching for somebody else, but then I know what I found
Don't know why I don't say it more than I do but
Everyone's selfish, you know, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's bad, you know that I notice
We go in and out of focus
Know what you wanna ask me
Baby, I know that you're nervous
When I'm gone, everything changes
Walls going up like we strangers
Took me forever to say this

[Chorus]
Baby, we should say it all, say it all
There's beauty in these broken walls, broken walls
Holding back is criminal, criminal
Baby, we should say it all, say it all
Yeah, baby, we should say it all, say it all
There's beauty in these broken walls, broken walls
One of us should make the call, make the call
Baby, we should say it all, say it all

[Bridge]
Sick and tired of these days and nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sick and tired of these days and nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sick and tired of these days and nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sick and tired of these days and nights
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Baby, we should say it all, say it all
There's beauty in these broken walls, broken walls
Holding back is criminal, criminal
Baby, we should say it all, say it all
Yeah, baby, we should say it all, say it all (Oh, oh, oh)
There's beauty in these broken walls, broken walls
One of us should make the call, make the call (Say it all)
Baby, we should say it all, say it all (Oh)

[Outro]
Say it all, say it all (Say it all)
Say it all, say it all (Girl, say it all, say it all)
Make the call, make the call (Just gotta)
Baby, we should say it all, say it all (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Liam Payne

Liam James Payne is an English R&B-pop singer-songwriter. He made his debut as a singer when he auditioned as a solo artist for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. He reauditioned as a solo artist in 2010, where he was put into a group along with four other contestants, to form the boy band that would later become known as One Direction.

Since joining One Direction, Payne, along with bandmates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and former bandmate Zayn Malik, have released five commercially successful albums, performed on four worldwide tours, and won multiple awards, including several BRIT Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards. He has worked independently under the monikers “Big Payno” and “Payno”, creating remixes for songs such as British pop singer Cheryl’s single “I Don’t Care”.

When One Direction first announced their hiatus in 2016, Liam said that he would stay in the music, but not go into a solo singing career. On May 10, 2017, Liam announced the release of his debut single “Strip That Down”. It became one of the biggest-selling debuts of all time, one of the most streamed songs of Summer 2017, making it the biggest selling song by any member from One Direction at the time.
