[Verse 1] I say, “Come sit beside me” You say, “I’m tired tonight” I tell myself you’ve had a long day And everything’s alright I reach across the distance You let me take your hand But I can’t tell if you still want me Or if you just understand [Pre-Chorus] And I hate that I keep counting Every kiss and every touch Trying to prove there’s still a feeling When proving hurts this much [Chorus] If I have to ask you to hold me Does it mean you wanted to? If I have to beg for a moment Is that love—or something you do? I don’t want affection from pressure Or words you think I need I just want to know you would choose me Without me having to plead So tell me the truth, even if it breaks us Don’t give me what your heart can’t give ’Cause if I have to ask you to love me Is that any way to live? [Verse 2] You say, “You’re overthinking” I say, “Maybe that is true” But silence leaves a thousand questions And they all sound like you You tell me that you love me I ask, “Then why can’t I feel it?” You turn away and whisper softly “I don’t know how to heal it” [Pre-Chorus] And maybe all my reaching Has only pushed you back I’ve been trying to earn a closeness We shouldn’t have to act [Chorus] If I have to ask you to hold me Does it mean you wanted to? If I have to beg for a moment Is that love—or something you do? I don’t want affection from pressure Or words you think I need I just want to know you would choose me Without me having to plead So tell me the truth, even if it breaks us Don’t give me what your heart can’t give ’Cause if I have to ask you to love me Is that any way to live? [Bridge] You say, “What do you want from me?” I say, “Something freely given” Not another night of wondering If this is love or just forgiving I’m tired of chasing reassurance Tired of measuring every sign Tired of feeling like your kindness Is something I made you provide And I don’t want to blame you I don’t want to make you stay But I can’t keep losing pieces of me Just to stop you walking away [Breakdown] So I won’t ask you to hold me I won’t ask you to pretend I won’t keep turning every silence Into something I must mend If your heart still wants to find me You already know the way But I’m done begging for tomorrow Just to survive another day [Final Chorus] If I have to ask you to choose me Then maybe you already chose And I’ve been holding onto a feeling Your heart has already let go I deserve affection without pressure You deserve to speak what’s true And love shouldn’t feel like a favour One of us is forced to do So tell me the truth, even if it breaks me That wound will someday close ’Cause if I have to ask you to love me Then I think I already know [Outro] You say, “Is this goodbye?” I say, “I don’t know yet” I’m just learning not to call it love When love feels like a debt
