[Intro – almost spoken, same space as previous outro] I still hear you sayin’ it… “If you love me…” …yeah, I know ⸻ Verse 1 You’re standin’ in the doorway now Like you ain’t sure you’re gonna stay Same look you get when you’re halfway gone But ain’t found the words to say I been sittin’ here in silence Tryin’ to sort out what is true But every thought just leads me back To losin’ you ⸻ Pre-Chorus I ain’t good at sayin’ everything But I know what this feels like ⸻ Chorus So let me try to love you Before you walk away Before I lose the only thing I never knew how to say Let me try to love you I know I ain’t been right But if you give me one more second I won’t waste this time ⸻ Verse 2 You say, “You only love me When you’re scared of being alone” And I ain’t got a good defense ’Cause that might hit too close But I swear it’s somethin’ deeper Than the mess I made before I just never knew how to hold it Without startin’ a war ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 You’re lookin’ at me like you already left And I’m runnin’ out of time ⸻ Chorus So let me try to love you Before you shut me out Before the words we never said Are all we got now Let me try to love you I’ll meet you where you are I don’t need to understand it Just don’t let this fall apart ⸻ Bridge (quiet, breaking) I don’t need to get it perfect I just need you not to go ’Cause I finally feel somethin’ real And I don’t wanna lose it slow ⸻ Break She said “If you love me… then don’t just say it” ⸻ Final Chorus (more emotional, slightly cracked) Then let me try to love you Not the way I did before Not half in, not half runnin’ Out the door Let me try to love you Even if I get it wrong I’d rather break here with you Than wonder where you’ve gone ⸻ Outro (soft, unresolved) So don’t leave yet… Just— …let me try
