Say It Anyway

About this track
You ever rehearse the truth so many times it stops sounding like you? “Say It Anyway” is about dropping the perfect line, the clever excuse, the polished version, and just saying the thing before fear edits it again. It’s for the overthinkers. The almost-sent texts. The people who hide inside better words because plain truth feels too exposed. No polish. No spin. No perfect timing. Just say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway. --Lyrics-- Had the note half-written in my head all day Changed the first line, threw the rest away Tried to make it sound like it was worth your time Like if I got it right, you’d hear it right Crossed it out, then lost my nerve again Took the truth and made it hard to say I know that look you get when I start backing out You hear what I mean before I say it loud I keep hiding in the language Like the right words could save me But the more I try to fix it The less it sounds like me So I’ll say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway Drop my guard, let it fall out anyway I don’t need perfect words to make it true I’m done trying to dress this up for you If it comes out late, if my voice just shakes If all I’ve got is this one thing to say I’ll say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway I love you, and that’s the way it's gonna stay I’ve been hiding fear in better words Called it restraint, but it was escape Every little joke, every time I dodged it Was me buying time, me playing safe You were never asking for a work of art Just why I always kept my distance All that dressed-up doubt I called my pride Was just me finding somewhere else to hide I keep reaching for a version That can’t get hurt or turned away But your name in my mouth Leaves nowhere to hide So I’ll say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway Drop my guard, let it fall out anyway I don’t need perfect words to make it true I’m done trying to dress this up for you If it comes out late, if my voice just shakes If all I’ve got is this one thing to say I’ll say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway I love you, and that’s the way it's gonna stay Maybe I said space when I meant I was scared Maybe I got good at acting like I didn’t care No more polish, no more spin No more line to hide behind So here I am with nothing dressed up Just one hard truth, no way around it I love you, and I can’t say it better I love you, and I can’t say it better So I’ll say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway Even if my whole voice shakes I don’t need perfect words to make it true I’d rather sound like me than lose you If it comes out small, if it comes out strange It still means the same, it still means the same I’ll say it wrong, say it plain, say it anyway I love you, and that’s the way it's gonna stay That’s enough I love you And that's the way it's gonna stay That’s enough I love you And that's the way it's gonna stay #Indie #AltPop #IndiePop #FemaleVocal #LoveSong #Emotional #Vulnerable #Honest #LoveBotArmy
