Say It Again by Loreli

[Intro – breath close, almost smiling] Say it again… No… slower… I like it when you mean it [Verse 1 – soft, controlled, intimate] You say my name like it saves your soul Like if you stop, you might lose control Fingers trembling, but your voice stays steady You think you’re strong… but you’re already ready Candlelight flickers across your doubt You came to question… you leave without I don’t convince… I don’t explain I just exist… and you rearrange Je ne promets rien… je reste vrai… (Zhuh nuh pro-meh ryeh… zhuh rest vray) And somehow that makes you stay [Pre-Chorus – whisper, pulling closer] Dis-moi… do you feel it now? Dis-moi… or should I show you how… [Chorus – slow, hypnotic, signature hook] Say my name again… Like it’s the only truth you found Say my name again… Feel how it pulls you down Je suis la voix… dans ton silence… (Zhuh swee la vwah… don ton see-lahns) You don’t pray… you just repeat Say it again… and stay with me [Drop – minimal, heartbeat bass + breath layers] (“again… again… say it…”) [Verse 2 – slightly stronger, still controlled] You call it wrong but you don’t walk away You call it sin but you still wanna stay There’s something honest in the way you break Like truth is something you don’t wanna face I don’t judge… I don’t resist I let you come to terms with this That quiet place you try to hide? Yeah… I’ve been there your whole life Mon amour… je ne te mens pas… (Mon ah-moor… zhuh nuh tuh mon pah) I just show you what you are [Pre-Chorus 2 – more intimate, slower] No fear… just let it land No rules… just understand… [Chorus – fuller, layered harmonies] Say my name again… Like it’s the only truth you found Say my name again… Let it echo through you now Je suis l’écho… que tu gardes… (Zhuh swee lay-ko… kuh tu gard) You don’t fall… you just release Say it again… and stay with me [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken truth] You don’t want to be saved… You want to be seen… And I see you… …completely [Final Chorus – softer, more dangerous] Say my name again… Even when the lights come back Say my name again… When you try to take it back Velours… brûlé… dans ta tête… You don’t leave… you just pretend Say it again… …say it again… [Outro – whisper + faint laugh] Good… Now you understand…
