Verse 1
If you’re not gonna stay
Then don’t say so
Don’t wrap it in comfort
When all you want is to go
Don’t tell me “maybe someday”
Don’t leave me in between
‘Cause I’ve learned what silence means
Behind every “I didn’t mean”
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need softer words
If they only cut me slow
If you’re already gone
Then please
Just let me know
Chorus
So if you’re not gonna stay
Just say so
Don’t tell me lies
Just tell me the truth and go
I don’t want your love
If it isn’t mine to have
I won’t hold on to something
That was never meant to last
So if you’re not gonna stay
Don’t make me wait
Just say so
And walk away
Verse 2
I can handle goodbye
If it’s honest and clean
Don’t show me tomorrow
Then suddenly disappear
I’m not something temporary
You can visit now and then
I don’t need empty promises
If you’re not staying till the end
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need your hand to hold
If it’s only in the dark
So if you’re really gone
Just tell the truth
Just let me know
Chorus
So if you’re not gonna stay
Just say so
Don’t tell me lies
Just tell me the truth and go
I don’t want your love
If it isn’t mine to have
I won’t hold on to something
That was never meant to last
So if you’re not gonna stay
Don’t make me wait
Just say so
Say so
Bridge
I’d rather hurt once
Than be broken slow
So if you’re leaving
Just let me know
And I’ll understand
Just go
Final Chorus
So if you’re not gonna stay
Just say so
Please don’t tell me lies
Just tell me the truth and go
I don’t want a love
That isn’t mine to have
I won’t hold on to someone
Who was never meant to last
So if you’re not gonna stay
Don’t make me wait
Tell the truth and walk away
Walk away
Outro
Don’t tell me lies
Just say so
Tell the truth and go
