Say It or Stay

We laugh, we talk, we’re always side by side,
But I can feel the words you’re trying to hide.
Something’s different, something’s changed,
Are we drifting, or just afraid?
Maybe we’re both waiting for the other to break,
Too scared to lose what we don’t wanna shake.
Say it or stay, don’t leave it in the gray,
Are we holding on, or slowly slipping away?
Tell me the truth, I can take the pain,
But don’t let silence be the thing that remains.
You text, you stop, and then you take all night,
Like every word needs to be just right.
Is it me, or is it you?
Are we pretending, or is this still true?
Maybe we’re both waiting for the other to break,
Too scared to lose what we don’t wanna shake.
Say it or stay, don’t leave it in the gray,
Are we holding on, or slowly slipping away?
Tell me the truth, I can take the pain,
But don’t let silence be the thing that remains.
If it’s over, then let me know,
I’d rather hear it than watch us go.
But if there’s something worth saving here,
Then don’t let your voice disappear.
Say it or stay, just don’t walk away,
I’d rather hear goodbye than fade into gray.
