Verse 1 I’ve been talkin’ to myself again Like you might answer if I say it right Same old ceiling, same old fan Spinnin’ like my mind tonight I swear I heard you in the quiet In the static of the radio light Said my name like it still mattered Like you never left that night ⸻ Verse 2 I been tryin’ not to overthink it But that’s all I ever really do Every memory starts to bend now Til I don’t know what was true I pour another coffee at midnight Like it’s gonna fix somethin’ in me But all I hear between the silence Is the way you used to speak ⸻ Interruption (her voice — faint, almost memory) “If you love me… don’t overthink it” ⸻ Verse 3 Maybe you never really said that Maybe I just needed you to Either way it keeps me up nights Like I still belong to you I catch myself talkin’ out loud now Like you’re still sittin’ in this room And I don’t know if I’m losin’ my mind Or just losin’ you ⸻ Interruption (her voice — softer) “If you love me… don’t let go yet” ⸻ Chorus She said, “If you love me… don’t look away” She said, “If you love me… say it like you mean it” But I’m standin’ here with words I can’t say Tryna figure out if I still feel it If love was supposed to feel like peace Why does it feel like a war in my head She keeps comin’ back in pieces And I don’t know what’s alive or dead ⸻ Verse 4 I drove past that bar last Tuesday Thought I saw your shape in the light But it was just my imagination Playin’ tricks on me again at night I been learnin’ how to live with it But I don’t think I really know how ’Cause every quiet moment breaks me Like you’re talkin’ to me now ⸻ Interruption (her voice — very faint) “If you love me…” ⸻ Bridge Maybe you were never really there Maybe I built you out of need But I still hear you in the dark when Everything gets hard to breathe And I don’t know if that’s memory Or somethin’ I refuse to lose But I swear you’re still the softest thing I never got to choose ⸻ Final Chorus (more broken, less structured) She said, “If you love me… don’t look away” She said, “If you love me… say it like you mean it” And I’m still stuck on all the things I didn’t say Tryna figure out if I believe it If love was supposed to feel like home Why does it feel like I’m losin’ my head She keeps comin’ back in fragments And I don’t know what’s alive or dead ⸻ Outro (bare guitar, almost spoken) I don’t know if you said it Or if I just needed you to But I still hear you sayin’ it “If you love me…” And I don’t know what that makes me… But I still do.
