[Intro] Yeah, I know this road I’ve been down it before But tonight it feels different Tonight it feels sure [Verse 1] You came in late with your keys in your hand Said, “I’m tired,” but I knew what you meant Sat on the edge of the bed, didn’t talk much Just two people pretending it still might work I asked how your day was, you said “fine” But your eyes never met mine And I could feel the distance in the room Louder than the TV in the background tune [Pre-Chorus] We’ve been careful with the truth Like it might break us in two But silence doesn’t save a heart It just tears it apart [Chorus] So tell me now, tell me true Are you still here like I’m here for you? If we’re hanging on by a thread Let’s not call it love if it’s already dead I can take the hurt, I can take the rain But I can’t keep standing in the middle of this pain So if you’re leaving, baby, let me know Before the lights go down and we both let go [Verse 2] We used to laugh through a half-burned night Drive nowhere just to feel alive Your hand on my knee, my song on the radio Back when forever didn’t move so slow Now the coffee sits cold on the counter And we don’t even fight, we just get quieter It’s funny how the hardest thing to say Is the one thing that could make us okay [Pre-Chorus] We’ve been careful with the truth Like it might break us in two But silence doesn’t save a heart It just tears it apart [Chorus] So tell me now, tell me true Are you still here like I’m here for you? If we’re hanging on by a thread Let’s not call it love if it’s already dead I can take the hurt, I can take the rain But I can’t keep standing in the middle of this pain So if you’re leaving, baby, let me know Before the lights go down and we both let go [Bridge] Maybe love ain’t always meant to last Maybe some things just don’t make it past The years, the fights, the hurt we hid The dreams we had, the life we lived And if this is where our story ends I’d rather lose you as a truth than keep you as pretend [Final Chorus] Tell me now, tell me true Are you still here like I’m here for you? If we’re hanging on by a thread Let’s not call it love if it’s already dead I can take the hurt, I can take the rain But I can’t keep standing in the middle of this pain So if you’re leaving, baby, let me know Before the lights go down and we both let go [Outro] Yeah, if you’re leaving, baby, let me know Before the lights go down Before we both let go
