[Verse 1]
You pull up on my street
Same dent in the backseat
Same song that we skip
'Cause it sounds like my last slip
You say you’ve been trying
To keep it all honest
But your eyes start sliding
Every time you promise
[Chorus]
If you want my love
Say it straight
Say it with your chest
Not late
I can take the truth
I swear
Hate the silence more than I hate despair
If you’re really staying
Stay
If you’re really leaving
Say
I just want it real
That’s all
Real enough to risk the fall (oh)
[Verse 2]
You trace my tattoo
Ask what I’ve been hiding
I laugh
Say
“yeah
You”
But my voice is tired of fighting
I’m done with half-answers
Sweet talk
Then vanish
If we’re gonna break
Let’s
Break clean
Not vanish
[Chorus]
If you want my love
Say it straight
Say it with your chest
Not late
I can take the truth
I swear
Hate the silence more than I hate despair
If you’re really staying
Stay
If you’re really leaving
Say
I just want it real
That’s all
Real enough to risk the fall (hey)
[Bridge]
Tell me where it hurts in you
I’ll tell you where it burns in me
We could keep pretending
Or we could really be
Nothing dressed in sugar
No half-hearted deals
Just your heartbeat
My heartbeat
And everything we feel
[Chorus]
If you want my love
Say it straight
Say it with your chest
Not late
I can take the truth
I swear
Hate the silence more than I hate despair
If you’re really staying
Stay
If you’re really leaving
Say
I just want it real
That’s all
Real enough to risk the fall (ooh, real)
Real enough to risk it all
