Say What You Want, Say What You Need

Verse 1

Late nights, you question if forever’s real

You count every reason, I just want to feel

Broken dreams taught you to hold back your heart

I come with my scars but I’m willing to start

You ask if faith is enough, or does doubt linger near?

We trade what-ifs, but love’s never clear

Girl, are boundaries a shield or a wall in disguise?

I want to know you beyond all your why’s

Chorus

Tell me your rules, lay down your lines

Are we loving just ‘cause, or do you need reasons to try?

Is your heart open, or guarded by pride?

If I fall without terms, will you run or will you ride?

Post-Chorus

Say what you want, say what you need

Say what you want, say what you need

Verse 2

She says she forgives but won’t forget tears

He wants her to trust, but hides what he fears

Can we set conditions when we dare to believe?

But love with a contract, what does that mean?

Pre-Chorus

If I lose it all, would you love me the same?

If I hit the wall, would you carry my name?

Questions we both hold tight in our chest

Wanting forever, but what’s the test?

Chorus

Tell me your rules, lay down your lines

Are we loving just ‘cause, or do you need reasons to try?

Is your heart open, or guarded by pride?

If I fall without terms, will you run or will you ride?

Post-Chorus

Say what you want, say what you need

Say what you want, say what you need

Bridge

When the fighting is over and the silence creeps in

Are we building together or counting past sins?

If the tables were turned, would you give all you ask?

Or hold back a part out of fear it won’t last?

We talk about freedom, but tie it with rules

Say nothing’s conditional, but play by those cues

So what is the line that we cannot cross?

Would one last mistake mean everything’s lost?

Chorus

Tell me your rules, lay down your lines

Are we loving just ‘cause, or do you need reasons to try?

Is your heart open, or guarded by pride?

If I fall without terms, will you run or will you ride?

Post-Chorus

Say what you want, say what you need

Say what you want, say what you need
