Say My Name Again

[Verse 1]
You say you're "fine"
Then stare straight through me
Your coffee's cold
Your keys keep swinging from your hand
You fold your arms
Like you're protecting
Every version
Of the way we used to stand
[Chorus]
Say my name again
Like you did back then
Like you meant forever
Not "remember when"
Say it slow this time
Let it crack
It's fine
If it pulls us under
At least it's still our line
[Verse 2]
Your jacket's on
But you won't leave yet
You trace the dent
In the wall from New Year's Eve
You almost laugh
Then swallow it
You say "it's late"
But make no move to reach your sleeve
[Chorus]
Say my name again
Like you did back then
Like it's still a promise
Not a past tense friend
Say it low
Then loud
Till it shakes the doubt
If it breaks completely
At least we spit it out
[Bridge]
You touch my face
Like it's unfamiliar
Like you're checking if I'm really here (oh)
Every syllable
Hangs between us
One more breath and it could disappear
[Chorus]
Say my name again
One last time
And then
If you have to leave me
Let it echo in your chest
Say it like it's ours
Like those midnight hours
If it's over
Let it
Go out on that sound
At least
Say my name again
(Just once more)
Say my name again

Moody alt-pop ballad with intimate male vocals, soft electric piano, and warm bass. Verses stay close and conversational, with sparse drums and subtle reverb; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a slightly bigger snare. Gentle guitar swells and a late-song lift in key for emotional push, ending on a hushed, lingering vocal ad-lib.
