“Say It Like You Mean It (While I’m Bleeding)”
[Spoken Intro – Female Whisper, Calm and Controlled] I’m not asking you to lie. Just say it like you want me to believe it. Even if it’s halfway true. Even if your mouth forgets what your hands said last night. Say it again. I’ll believe it harder this time. [Verse 1 – Male, Soft Clean Vocal] I held you like a secret meant to be stolen, Said your name with guilt in my mouth. You watched me flinch when I lied to her, But still pressed your nails deeper into my chest. You didn’t ask for honesty— Just devotion. [Verse 2 – Female, Soft Vocal, Breathy] You flinch when I say her name. Good. It means you still remember who let you forget it. I kissed you through your guilt, And whispered forgiveness into the hollow of your throat. I collect your mistakes like souvenirs. [Pre-Chorus – Both, Intertwined Harmony] Let’s not pretend. We’re not innocent. You wanted the thrill— I wanted the leash. We’re both complicit, baby. So let’s never stop. [Chorus 1 – Duet, Emotional Swell] Say it like you mean it— Like I’m not the reason she cries at night. Like your hands don’t shake When you touch someone who isn’t me. Say it like I’m the only lie you’d keep forever. [Verse 3 – Female Whisper-Growl Blend] There’s lipstick in your car that isn’t mine. I left it there. You’ll find it when you’re alone and miss me. I don’t need to scream. I just need you to feel the silence I gift you. Every pause is mine. [Bridge – Male, Hesitant Screamo Build] I don’t know who I am around you. And I love it. Even when it hurts. Even when you smile with your teeth clenched. Even when I catch myself Begging you not to leave the room. [Chorus 2 – Duet, Darker and Intimate] Say it like you mean it— Even if it’s poison. Even if you love her too. I won’t stop you. But I’ll still be the name You scream when everything else breaks. [Outro – Female Whisper, Detached and Cold] Say it one last time. Just once more, softer. Make it sound real. Make it sound like I was always the one You couldn’t quite walk away from.
