歌詞

You say, “What’s wrong?”

I say, “It’s fine”

Mouth full of stones

Heart out of time

Breath on your shoulder

I still choke

All of these feelings

Caught in my throat

I can’t say it pretty, I can’t say it right

All these tangled colors in my chest at night

Can you name this ache, can you call this pain?

If I give you my silence, would you

Say it plain?

Say it plain

If I bring you the pieces, would you

Say it plain?

Hands on the table

Eyes on the floor

You read every flinch

Like you’ve seen this before

You ask me for truth

I circle the drain

Talk around the hurt

Never touch the vein

Words taste bitter

On the tip of my tongue

Every “I’m okay”

Feels like loading a gun

I can’t say it pretty, I can’t say it right

All these tangled colors in my chest at night

Can you name this ache, can you call this pain?

If I give you my silence, would you

Say it plain?

Say it plain

If I bring you the pieces, would you

Say it plain?

I been calling it stress

You been calling it distance

I been changing the subject

You been trusting your instincts

Every time you get near

I turn into a riddle

Hide a war in a joke

Tuck a scream in the middle

What do you call it

When love feels heavy but you never let it fall?

When you’re scared of your own reflection

So you answer every question

With a shrug and a half-made wall

Is it fear, is it shame, is it pride, is it grief?

Is it all of the above, buried under my teeth?

If I lay it on the table, all the wreck, all the rain

Will you touch it, not judge it, just

Say its name?

I can’t say it pretty, I can’t say it right

All these tangled colors in my chest at night

Can you name this ache, can you call this pain?

If I give you my silence, would you

Say it plain?

Say it plain

If I bring you the pieces, would you

Say it plain?

Call it what it is

Don’t call it a phase

Put a word to the wound

So it finally breaks

If I stand here shaking

Bare, unafraid

Will you hold my trembling and just

Say it plain? (Say it plain)
