say it

Lyrics

[Intro - minimalist piano, ambient, deep sub-bass rumble]
...

Verse 1
You keep dancing around the question
I keep reading between the lines
Every word feels like a lesson
But we're running out of time

Pre-Chorus
And the silence is getting louder
I can't pretend anymore

Chorus
So say it straight
Tell me what you're holding back
Say it straight
Even if it breaks me in half
I'd rather know the truth tonight
Than wonder in the fading light
Just say it straight

Verse 2
Your eyes are talking in a language
That your lips are scared to speak
Every promise has a damage
When the future feels this weak

Pre-Chorus
And the tension is getting colder
I can't wait another day

Chorus
So say it straight
Tell me what you're holding back
Say it straight
Even if it breaks me in half
I'd rather know the truth tonight
Than wonder in the fading light
Just say it straight

[Bridge - stripped back, piano only, deep bass drop]
Maybe I already know the answer
Maybe I'm afraid to hear
But staying here's a bigger cancer
So make the silence disappear

[Chorus - emotional lift, fuller, heavy 808s]
Just say it straight
Tell me what you're holding back
Say it straight
Even if it breaks me in half
I'd rather bleed out in the open
Than die here not knowing
Say it straight

[Outro - atmospheric pads, sub-bass fade out]
Say it straight...
Just say it straight...
