[Verse 1]
Every night I walk back there
With your little box in my hands
Fresh dirt on my shoes again
Cold wind through the dead grass
I set it down by the stones
Like you might still know my name
The red light blinks in the dark
And I wait for a sign, a frame
[Pre-Chorus]
I hold my breath
I lean in close
One tiny word
Is all I hope
If you’re there
If you still care
Say my name
Just say it there
[Chorus]
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
I’m right here waiting
Say anything
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
I wipe my tears off
Still listening
[Verse 2]
I ask about the porch steps
The dog, the rain, the key
The stupid joke you used to laugh at
The way you looked at me
But the box just hums and cracks
Like a door that won’t unlock
I keep hoping for your voice
But the night gives back a lot of talk
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m losing sleep
I’m losing faith
I bring your name
To the same place
One small sound
One breath, one spark
But the dark stays dark
And the dark stays dark
[Chorus]
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
I’m right here waiting
Say anything
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
I wipe my tears off
Still listening
[Bridge]
Maybe love don’t answer clean
Maybe grief just bites and holds
Maybe I kept showing up
For a silence getting old
Still I come back anyway
With my hands and my hurt and hope
Even if you never speak
I can’t let this go
[Breakdown]
Say something
Say something
Anything at all
Say something
Say something
Before I fall
[Final Chorus]
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
I’m right here waiting
Say anything
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
I wipe my tears off
Still listening
Did you ever care
Did you ever care
If you’re still out there
Just answer me
