Verse 1 You speak like the world might end if you stutter A prayer with my name dressed in sugar and thunder You trace me in silence, like ink on a vow And I let you—just this once— I’ll let you now Pre-Chorus I’m not the kind who stays in light But you lit your match and said you might And I don’t bleed, but for you I’d learn To melt, to burn, to never return Chorus Say my name like it’s yours to keep Like the stars bend down to hear you speak Hold my gaze like a secret spell If we’re falling—let’s fall like hell You love like you don’t know how to stop But darling, I’ve made silence soft And in your mouth, my name feels warm Like a home I never knew before Verse 2 Your fingers know the map of my restraint And still, you knock at every gate You kiss like sin, but plead like grace And I stay, and I stay, and I stay Bridge Don’t promise forever, just promise tonight Say it like worship, say it like fight If I vanish by morning, don’t ask me why Just know, for once, I wanted to try Final Chorus Say my name like it’s yours to break Like a vow you swore you’d never fake Trace my scars like sacred ground If we’re dying—then die spellbound You love like the world ends at dawn But I’ll stay ‘til your breath is gone And in your mouth, my name survives The only place I come alive
