Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lie gently with me
All clocks have stopped
Our minds, they can't reach
All counting off
No bitter endings
And no false starts
Just tell me one thing
Just say the words
[Chorus]
Say it like you mean it
I need to hear it before you go
Say it like you mean it
This goodbye hurts when you go
[Verse 2]
Go softly with me
My heart is raw
Too many losses
Have left me down
You have your story
Your hidden scars
Just tell me one thing
Just say the words
[Chorus]
Say it like you mean it
I need to hear it before you go
Say it like you mean it
This goodbye hurts when you go
[Chorus]
Say it, say it like you mean it
I need to hear it before you go
Say it, say it like you mean it
This goodbye hurts when you go
Say it, say it like you mean it
I need to hear it before you go
Say it, say it like you mean it
This goodbye hurts when you go
