I said it soft, I said it kind Still watched it bounce right off your mind Four different ways, one truth to tell Somewhere between us, the message fell Maybe it was never about the words Maybe it's the wall I built when I got hurt Say it once, from a place that's true Not to win, just to reach you Take the armor off before I speak Let you hear the strong in me be weak Say it once — and let it land Not a fight, just a hand You're not made of stone, I know that now You just flinch the second I get loud So I'll lower this, I'll soften that Meet you somewhere we can both come back Maybe it was never about the words Maybe it's the wall I built when I got hurt Say it once, from a place that's true Not to win, just to reach you Take the armor off before I speak Let you hear the strong in me be weak Say it once — and let it land Not a fight, just a hand It was never about being right It was always about being close tonight Say it once, from a place that's true Not to win, just to reach you Take the armor off before I speak Let you hear the strong in me be weak Say it once — and let it land Not a fight, just a hand And most important, remember you are extraordinary.
