Say it already

Verse 1
You act like nothing’s changed
Like we’re still playing safe
But you don’t look at me the same
And you know it

You get too close, then pull away
Like you’re scared of what you’d say
But I can feel it in the space
When we’re quiet

⸻

Pre-Chorus
You think I don’t see through it
Like I don’t notice every bit

⸻

Chorus
So say it already
Stop pretending you don’t feel it
You’re looking at me like I’m everything
But you won’t admit it

And I’m so tired
Of dancing ‘round the truth we’re in
You don’t have to be so scared
I know you love me—just say it

⸻

Verse 2
You get jealous, then you laugh
Like it didn’t just happen like that
But I see it every time
You try to hide it

And I’ve been patient, I’ve been calm
Played it cool, played along
But I’m done waiting for you
To decide it

⸻

Pre-Chorus
You’re not as subtle as you think
And I’m not blind, I see everything

⸻

Chorus
So say it already
Stop pretending you don’t feel it
You’re holding back like if you do
Everything will break in it

And I’m so tired
Of acting like we’re just friends
When every little thing you do
Says more than you admit

⸻

Bridge (explosive / emotional peak)
What are you so afraid of?
That I won’t feel the same?
Or that I will and everything
Will never be the same?

‘Cause I’d rather risk it all with you
Than stay stuck here like this
Where we’re everything but honest
And nothing makes sense

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, raw)
So say it already
I’m done pretending I don’t hear it
Every silence, every look
Yeah, it’s screaming

And I’m right here
Not running, not leaving
You don’t have to be so scared
I know you love me—just say it
