"Say it to my face."

I'm pretty much human as you are.

You and I have faces.

I have my own life while you have yours.

Regards, if you have to mention my name, in anyway, say it to my face.

 

"Hey, she's in love with you."

No, I don't like you in that way.

I'll admit that I was one of those shy kids.

I never say anything about having a crush on you.

Say it to my face if you want to know who I actually like back then.

 

"She's so fat."

Yes, I was that fat.

I'll admit that I was one of those cheery, chubby kids, except the "cheery" part.

You and your friends have ears, I also have them.

Say it to my face, not behind my wide-as-a-bear fat back.

 

"She's always alone."

Well, no shit, Sherlock Holmes.

I'll admit that was one of those loners.

I was alone because no one ever opened their heart to talk to me.

Say it to my face, so I don't have to be alone.

 

You thought I was that stupid to not hear all of that?

You must be ignorant to talk about my flaws without me in the same room.

I'm not one of those kids anymore back then.

I can accept that was in the past since now I'm an adult.

"Say it to my face," so you can open yourself to me and get to know me better.
