Story Behind The Song
It's a shock to me, but this song was probably one of the easiest to record on the album, despite its complicated chord structure.
Song Description
A young wife is frustrated by her husband's inability and/or refusal to communicate with her, to the point that her song is a communication she uses as her weapon against him. But you can't make a man talk just by telling him to do so. She becomes increasingly frustrated, implying that his "saying nothing" means much more than if he were to speak at all.

Lyrics
Baby you bring out the worst in me (x2)
The bravest face with the weakest gut
The bluntest words from the sharpest tongue
Chorus:
You do it again, you do it again, you do it again
You do it again, you do it again, you do it again
Just by sitting still like you feel nothing
Just just just just say something...just say something?.just say something?
Baby you bring out the worst in me (x2)
The rarest bite from the thickest cut
The solicitor from the slut
Repeat chorus:
Bridge 1: (x2)
The more that you sulk the more that I whine
The more that you hide the more that I pry
It doesn?t make you perfect or right
You?re passive but you?re still fighting
Bridge 2:
Baby you?re still fighting?baby you?re still fighting?
Baby you bring out the worst in me (x2)
A violent heart with a fragile mind
A omniscient love with a hate that is blind
Repeat chorus:
Baby don?t be afraid to say it?
Just say something
