[ONE FEMALE LEAD VOCAL ONLY] [Intro — fingerpicked guitar, voice very close] You say you love me... [breath] I believe you. [Verse 1 — pure, intimate] You don't have to say it louder. Don't have to say it twice. You said you'd call. You called. Said you'd be there. You were. Funny how something that simple can quiet so much. [Chorus — melody opens] You say you love me, I believe you. You say you're here, and then you are. I don't have to read between every word anymore. You say you love me... I believe you. [Short Guitar Turn] [Verse 2 — warmer, freer] I told you something I almost took back. Waited for your voice to sound different. [space] It didn't. You didn't make it bigger. Didn't make it yours. We talked about dinner ten minutes later. And somehow that stayed with me. The way nothing changed... and everything did. [Chorus 2 — slightly wider range] You say you love me, I believe you. You say you're here, and then you are. I've heard the same warmth when nothing was easy. You say you love me... I believe you. [Bridge — guitar nearly stops] Maybe love isn't supposed to keep me guessing. Maybe sometimes it's this ordinary. You say it. You mean it. Tomorrow comes... [breath] and you're still you. [Final Chorus — widest vocal freedom] You say you love me... I believe you. Not because I need the words. I've heard them in a thousand little ways you never knew I heard. [upper-register release] You say you love me... I believe you. [Outro — voice returns very close] You say you love me... [long pause] I know.
