LET ME KNOW
(Soft spoken)
Verse 1
Is it all in my head…? (hmm…)
Am I reading in between the lines?
Should I back away… and give you space,
Or is that not what you mean?
I really don’t want to… (oh…)
I’d rather you hated me.
’Cause this quiet in the middle…
Is slowly… suffocating me.
(Short pause)
Pre-Chorus
Soft smiles and passing glances… (mmm…)
They’re a riddle I can’t solve.
Every little moment
Leaves another question unresolved.
I replay every conversation…
Searching for what I might’ve missed. (hmm…)
Trying to find the answer…
Somewhere hidden in all this.
(Build)
Chorus
Let me know… (ooh…)
Was I only passing time?
Let me know…
Should I stay or walk away?
Just let me know… (oh-oh…)
Where I stand.
I don’t need forever…
I don’t need promises.
Just honesty… whatever it is.
At least then I’ll know… (mmm…)
Where I stand.
(Instrumental breath)
Verse 2
Maybe you’ve just been busy…
Maybe life got in the way.
Maybe none of this was ever…
Something you meant to say.
Maybe I’ve been building castles… (hmm…)
Out of moments in my mind.
Turning little pieces into…
Something bigger every time.
If I crossed a line… just tell me.
If I didn’t… tell me too.
I’m exhausted trying to guess… (oh…)
What’s the truth… and what’s not true.
(Music begins to swell)
Bridge
I’d rather hear the hard truth…
Than another quiet night.
Even if it hurts tomorrow…
At least I’ll know I’ll be alright.
Because hope can be so heavy… (mmm…)
When it’s carrying the unknown.
And silence has a way of making…
Every fear feel like its own.
(Big emotional lift)
Final Chorus
So let me know… (ooh…)
Write me back when you can.
I’ll still read your words…
A hundred times…
If it’s over… (hmm…)
Say it’s over.
If it’s not…
Then take my hand.
I don’t need forever…
I don’t need a plan.
Just let me know… (let me know…)
Where I stand…
(Soft, almost whispered)
Just… let me know…
(Long held “ohhhhh…” fading into silence)
