say it to me softer lyrics

Verse 1

You’ve been typing and deleting.
I saw the dots go dark.
Don’t do that thing
where you make me guess.

If it’s bad, just say it.
I can take the edge
just not all at once.
Not like that.

Pre-Chorus

You keep looking at the floor
like it’s gonna help.
I know that face.
I know it too well.

Chorus

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
I want the truth
I don’t want the cut

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
Tell me what it is
then don’t make it rough

Verse 2

I’m not being dramatic.
I’m just here, awake,
doing that fake calm
people do when they’re scared.

You can be honest.
I’m already halfway there.
I heard the whole thing
in the way you breathed.

Pre-Chorus

So if you’re leaving
just don’t swing the door.
Give me one clean line
and leave me some floor.

Chorus

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
I want the truth
I don’t want the cut

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
Tell me what it is
then don’t make it rough

Bridge

I know, I know
I know what this is
I just hate the shape of it
when you say my name like that

If I flinch, let me.
If I laugh, let me.
I’m trying to stand here
like I’m not about to fold.

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
I want the truth
I don’t want the cut

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
Tell me what it is
then don’t make it rough

Say it to me softer
say it to me softer
I can take the truth
just take your time with it
