[Verse 1] be my lover......be my lover We been walking that line for years now Laugh it off but it’s different somehow Every silence says what we hide Every glance gives us away inside We say “friends” but it don’t feel right There’s a tension we can’t deny Too close, yeah we cross that space Then we pull back like it’s a mistake [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why we keep acting blind When it’s written all over tonight [Chorus] Be my lover We don’t need to pretend We both feel it pulling us in Right where we’ve always been Be my lover Say it out loud for real No more hiding what we both feel Let it be what it is [Verse 2] Every touch lingers way too long Like our hearts already moved on From the rules we were trying to keep To something deeper we’re scared to speak You don’t say it, but I can tell By the way that you know me too well We ain’t fooling nobody now So why we holding it down? [Pre-Chorus] We’ve been close but never crossed the line Now the moment’s right on time [Chorus] Be my lover We don’t need to pretend We both feel it pulling us in Right where we’ve always been Be my lover Say it out loud for real No more hiding what we both feel Let it be what it is [Bridge] No more “what if,” no more delay We been one step away All this time, all this tension We don’t need permission Let it fall, let it land Right where it began You and me, no disguise No more alibis [Chorus] Be my lover We don’t need to pretend We both feel it pulling us in Right where we’ve always been Be my lover Say it out loud for real No more hiding what we both feel Let it be what it is [Outro] We already know Don’t say no Let it go Be my lover
