Lyrics of Say You Love Me
Verse 1:
“Don’t try to make me stay
Or ask if I’m okay
I don’t have the answer
Don’t make me stay the night
Or ask if I’m alright
I don’t have the answer”
Chorus:
“Say you love me to my face
I need it more than your embrace
Just say you love me, that’s all it takes
Heart’s getting torn from your mistakes”
Verse 2:
“Don’t try to cover up
Or hide what’s deep inside
I know the truth now
Don’t make me stay the night
Or ask if I’m alright
I don’t need the answer”
Chorus:
“Say you love me to my face
I need it more than your embrace
Just say you love me, that’s all it takes
Heart’s getting torn from your mistakes”
Bridge:
“And I’m feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I’ll never get it right”
Chorus:
“Say you love me to my face
I need it more than your embrace
Just say you love me, that’s all it takes
Heart’s getting torn from your mistakes”
