Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your blue jacket on my kitchen chair The one with the loose thread by the pocket seam I held it up, but you were never there Just the shape of what you used to mean Your message sat unread beneath my thumb I watched the little cursor disappear Some apologies arrive too late to come Some truths get clearer when nobody's near [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect ending I need the honest part If we're going to leave this gently Don't leave me guessing in the dark [Chorus] Say it plain, say it slowly Let the truth fall where it may If you still feel something for me Don't hide it behind yesterday I can take the weight between us I can lose you and stay whole Say it plain, say it slowly Give my heart a place to go [Verse 2] I found your photograph inside a book A grocery list was written on the back You circled apples, salt, and something good Like small things could keep a life on track We were brave in all the wrong directions Made a home from almost and before Now I'm learning love is not possession And an open hand can close a door [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect ending I need the honest part If we're going to leave this gently Don't leave me guessing in the dark [Chorus] Say it plain, say it slowly Let the truth fall where it may If you still feel something for me Don't hide it behind yesterday I can take the weight between us I can lose you and stay whole Say it plain, say it slowly Give my heart a place to go [Bridge] Maybe we were meant to change each other Not to make the other stay Maybe every door we opened Taught us what we couldn't say So if this is where we turn around now I won't turn it into blame I will carry what was real here And release what couldn't remain [Final Chorus] Say it plain, say it slowly Let the truth fall where it may If you still feel something for me Don't hide it behind yesterday I can take the weight between us I can lose you and stay whole Say it plain, say it slowly Give my heart a place to go [Outro] Say it plain... Say it slowly... I can breathe now... I can let go... No more guessing... No more reaching... What was real stays with me... What is finished, let it finish... Say it plain... Say it slowly... I can breathe now... I can let go...
