Verse 1
You walk in like you own the room
Like you didn’t leave me in ruins
Got that look I used to know
Like a match about to blow
You say, “Hey, it’s been a while”
Like you didn’t change your style
Of breaking hearts and acting cool
Like I was just another fool
Pre-Chorus
You say my name like nothing’s wrong
But I’ve been replaying it all along
Chorus
So say you didn’t mean it
Say it was just one of your games
Say you never needed
Someone to carry the blame
You pull me in, then push away
Got me hanging on every word you say
If you don’t feel it, then why do you stay?
Just say you didn’t mean it anyway
Verse 2
You lean close, I feel the heat
Like we’re dancing in between
All the lines we crossed before
That we swore we’d ignore
You got me caught up in your spin
Like I’d fall for it again
And I hate that it still works
Every time you make it hurt
Pre-Chorus
You touch my hand like it’s a test
And I forget all the rest
Chorus
So say you didn’t mean it
Say it was just one of your games
Say you never needed
Someone to carry the blame
You pull me in, then push away
Got me hanging on every word you say
If you don’t feel it, then why do you stay?
Just say you didn’t mean it anyway
Bridge (breakdown, groove drops)
Maybe I’m addicted to the way you lie
Maybe I’m a little too good at goodbye
But every time I think I’m done with you
You show up like you always do
Final Chorus (bigger, layered, falsetto ad-libs)
So say you didn’t mean it
Say it was never real to you
Say you never feel it
The way I still do
You pull me in, then push away
Got me begging just to hear you say
Something honest for once, babe
Before you walk away
Outro (funky, fading with riffs)
Say you didn’t mean it
Yeah, just say it to my face
