[instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
As soon as I turn the ghost mode on
The room keeps breathing without me
My name goes cold on everybody’s tongue
Like coffee left on the backseat

I watch them type, then change their minds
Three little dots and a funeral
Funny how silence gets dressed up nice
When there’s nobody to answer for

[Pre-Chorus]
And I just wanna know
Who would break and who would pose
Who would call it “such a shame”
Then forget the sound of my name

[Chorus]
Say it while I’m here
Don’t save your good words for the weather
No need to learn how to love me better
From a framed-up photograph
Say it while I’m here
Don’t bring flowers to the doorway
Of a girl you walked through all day
Like I was made of glass
[post-chorus] 
If it mattered, don't go quiet
If it mattered, make it clear
Don’t wait until I disappear
Say it while I’m here
[instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I used to think the truth would come
If people had to lose me
Like grief would make the cowards brave
And teach the blind to see me

But I’ve kept words in my mouth too long
Like matches in a drawer
Waited for a better time
Till the time walked out the door

[pre-chorus]
And this is not revenge
Maybe this is mercy
For every heart that learned too late
That love is not a eulogy

[Chorus]
Say it while I’m here
Don’t save your good words for the weather
No need to learn how to love me better
From a framed-up photograph
Say it while I’m here
Don’t bring flowers to the doorway
Of a girl you walked through all day
Like I was made of glass
[post-chorus]
If it mattered, don't go quiet
If it mattered, make it clear
Don’t wait until I disappear
Say it while I’m here
[instrumental]

[soaring, slow guitar solo]

[bridge]
Say it while I’m here
While I’m standing in the kitchen
Still a mess, still half-forgiven
Still a voice you can call back
[final chorus] 
Say it while I’m here
Don’t learn how to love me better
From a frame, a post, a letter
And a dress nobody packed
[outro] 
If it mattered, don't go quiet
If it mattered, make it clear
Don’t wait until I disappear
Say it while I’m here
[fade out]
