Say It Now

I fell like rain on desert skin

Soft enough to let you in

You said forever with that grin

Like it was something you could win

I gave you secrets, gave you time

Let you caress my fragile lines

You held me close like I was rare

But only when you [held me… held me…] cared

You loved the way I looked at you

Like you were something holy

You loved the power in my hope

But never meant to [hold… hold…] me

Say it now [say it… say it…]

If you ever meant a word

Say it now [now… now…]

If my love was more than just a blur

You took my heart

You wore the crown

You let me build it from the ground

If you loved me — [me… me…]

Say it now

You traced devotion down my spine

Called me yours in borrowed time

Kissed me like a promise kept

Then left without a single [regret… regret…]

I replay every late-night vow

Trying to find the truth somehow

But truth was just the game you played

To keep me steady while you [strayed… strayed…]

You liked my fire in your hands

The way I burned for you

But you were never brave enough

To burn the same way [too… too…]

Say it now [say it… say it…]

If I was more than just a phase

Say it now [now… now…]

If you remember me that way

You held me close

Then shut me out

You let me love you inside out

If you loved me — [me… me…]

Say it now

Don’t say it now

I don’t need it anymore

Don’t say it now

I’m not standing at your door

You had me once

You let me down

You don’t get absolution now

If you loved me —

You should’ve said it then
