Say It Like You Meant It by DreamyCow - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – Distorted lo-fi guitar loop]

You only call when it’s quiet

And I’m stupid enough to answer

[Verse 1 – Raspy melodic vocal]

Said you missed me last November

But you’ve been gone since July

I saw your name light up my phone

And I still smiled — why?

You talk like love’s a weapon

Like I begged for every scar

But I kept count, I kept score

And you still played the part

[Pre-Chorus – Slight crack in delivery]

You tell me, “I didn’t mean to”

Then why do you do it again?

You say you want me to trust you

But I’ve seen how this one ends

[Chorus – Powerful melodic delivery with punk undertones]

So say it like you mean it

Lie straight through your teeth

Tell me that you love me

Even if it’s bittersweet

I’d rather hear your fake words

Than deal with your silence again

So say it like you mean it

Even if you don’t feel a thing

[Verse 2 – Half-sung, half-spoken, emotional pop-rap tone]

You used to text me “get home safe”

Now I walk alone, and it’s quiet

I tell myself I’m better now

But I still wait for your riot

I replay the last fight like a movie

And rewrite it with better lines

But no script saves this ending

You’re a villain in every timeline

[Pre-Chorus – Vulnerable delivery]

You said I’m hard to love

But you held me like a drug

You pulled me close just to vanish

And I still think that was enough

[Chorus – Louder, more broken voice]

So say it like you mean it

Lie straight through your grin

Tell me I was special

While you're holding her again

I’d rather drown in your poison

Than choke on this empty space

So say it like you mean it

Even if it’s all fake

[Bridge – Soft grunge instrumental + whispered lines]

Maybe I just wanted the noise

Maybe I loved the crash

You were never really mine

But I burned out just as fast

I screamed into pillows

You posted her face

And I still kept every message

Like it held a trace of grace

[Final Chorus – Strained vocal with layered harmony]

So say it like you mean it

Say I’m still in your head

Call me “baby” like you used to

While I’m breaking in my bed

I don’t need your apology

I just want to feel something

So say it like you mean it

Even if it means nothing

[Outro – Quiet guitar fade + ambient swell]

Say it

Say it

Say it like you mean it

...even if you never did
