Did the real me corrupt the fantasy?
Did I spoil the view?
The build up is almost always better than getting what you want
Did I disappoint you?
Say it
If it’s over, say it
So I can move forward
Please don’t leave me in the dark
Praying for a wayward spark
I’m haunted by your tenderness
You gave me a soft place to land
You held up a mirror and showed me what I’ve been hiding from for years
Was that just sleight of hand?
Say it
If it’s over, say it
So I can move forward
Please don’t leave me in the dark
Praying for a wayward spark
Say it
If it’s done
Speak the words and I will be gone
You know I’m loyal to a fault
I will sit here waiting for the ax to fall
If you could, would you erase me?
Eradicate me from your mind?
If we were to meet as strangers again
Would you refuse to meet my eye
Would you let me pass you by?
Say it
If it’s over, say it
So, I can move forward
Please don’t leave me in the dark
Praying for a wayward spark
Say it
If it’s done
Speak the words and I will be gone
You know I’m loyal to a fault
I will sit here waiting for the ax to fall
