lyrics

Your boots by my door, wet from the rain

You stood in my kitchen with your phone and your cane

You said, “He was there,” and I felt my jaw lock down

My keys in my fist, I stared at the tile on the ground

I wanted a lie with a soft little edge

A pretty white dress and a safe little pledge

But you kept your eyes on me, steady and bare

Like you knew I’d hate it, and still you were there

Say it straight, say it straight, say it straight, say it straight

Hit me hard, don’t make me wait

Say it straight, say it straight, say it straight, say it straight

I can take it if you don’t fake

Now your chipped mug sits by the sink all day

My unread texts glow blue, then fade away

You said his name in the Target lot

In the parking line where I froze and forgot

I bit my tongue till it bled a little red

You told me the thing I kept out of my head

I looked at your shoes, then the cracks in the floor

You gave me the truth and I asked for more

Say it straight, say it straight, say it straight, say it straight

Hit me hard, don’t make me wait

Say it straight, say it straight, say it straight, say it straight

I can take it if you don’t fake

Now I’m outside in the heat by the curb

With my hands in my sleeves and a knot in my words

You were right, you were right, and I hate that it stings

But I needed the cut more than I needed the thing

Say it straight, say it straight, say it straight, say it straight

Hit me hard, don’t make me wait

Say it straight, say it straight, say it straight, say it straight

I can take it if you don’t fake
