[Intro] [quiet, breathy, single guitar] You don’t say goodbye You just stop answering [Verse 1] You leave your name in my phone like a scar I don’t touch it, but it still burns You talk in pauses, half-truth replies Like silence is something I earned You circle me like you’re not sure If I’m prey or just a habit you keep You say you’re fine, you always are But your shadow never sleeps [Pre-Chorus] You disappear when it gets real Then swear it’s nothing, swear it’s fate I keep bleeding out intentions While you call it “just a phase” [Chorus] You’re pulling back just to feel me break I’m chasing ghosts you don’t even name You say it’s love but you won’t stay You play it safe, I play in pain If this is a game, I’m losing clean You hide for fun, I bleed for keeps Say it straight or set me free Don’t make a sport out of me [Post-Chorus] [outburst, layered vocals] Say it Say it Say it Or let me go [Verse 2] You move like I won’t notice Every locked door, every sideways glance I replay nights like evidence You call them “just a circumstance” You keep me close enough to ache But far enough I can’t breathe I’m counting lies in your heartbeat You’re counting exits under me [Pre-Chorus 2] You swear you never meant to hurt But you never mean to stay You call this distance “timing” I call it running away [Chorus] You’re pulling back just to feel me break I’m chasing ghosts you don’t even name You say it’s love but you won’t stay You play it safe, I play in pain If this is a game, I’m losing clean You hide for fun, I bleed for keeps Say it straight or set me free Don’t make a sport out of me [Bridge] [half-time, raw, almost spoken] I would’ve burned quieter If it meant you’d stop leaving I would’ve swallowed every doubt If you’d stop pretending But you don’t want the fall You just want the edge You don’t want my heart You want the threat [Breakdown / Screamed Section] You don’t chase You test You don’t love You guess I’m not your echo I’m not your maybe Stop hiding behind “What ifs” and “lately” [Final Chorus] You’re pulling back just to feel me break I’m done chasing ghosts you won’t name If this was love, it’s dead and late I won’t beg just to feel replaced If this is a game, I quit tonight No more hide-and-seek with my life Say it straight or watch me leave I won’t bleed for your uncertainty [Outro] [soft, fading distortion] You wanted distance Now you’ve got it
