Lyric

You said I was right

Why didn’t that

Feel right?

I waited all night

To hear you say it

Then you did

And all I could think was—

That’s not it

That’s not it

I came in ready

Every word

Still in my head

I knew what you said

I knew

Where to find it

You let me finish

Then—

“Okay

You’re right.”

I looked at you

You looked away

I kept going

One more thing

Then one more

I almost stopped

Instead I said

“But what about—”

You looked at me

I knew

You said I was right

Why didn’t that

Feel right?

I wanted it so bad

Until I had it

I kept pushing

Pushing

Waiting for something

In your face

To change

You said I was right

I still felt wrong

That’s not it

That’s not it

You got quiet

I got sharper

You weren’t fighting

With me anymore

Still

I kept going

Until you finally

Looked hurt

There

For one second

I was glad

Then you looked down

So did I

You said my name

I said

“What?”

You shook your head

“Nothing.”

This time

I didn’t ask again

You said I was right

Why didn’t that

Feel right?

I thought hearing it

Would be enough

It wasn’t

I wanted one more word

One more look

Something

That made it hurt

On your side too

Then it did

I wish

I hadn’t wanted that

“Was that

What you wanted?”

I don’t answer

You wait

“No.”

“What did you want?”

I look at you

Nothing

You look down

I almost reach

For my phone again

I don’t

You said I was right

Why didn’t that

Feel right?

I saw it

On your face—

Finally

And I hated

That for a second

I was glad

You said I was right

I don’t want

To hear it again

Not tonight

Not from you

Neither of us speaks

I reach

For your hand

You look at me

I almost pull back

I don’t

Your hand

Stays there
