(Verse 1)
Yeah, that face again, I see that little frown
Know the words about to drop, so lemme shut it down
Wait up, stop, just stop right there for me
Don't wanna hear another episode of this story
Same old mistake, this tired forgiveness track
It's eating us alive and there's no turning back
Don't use it like a magic word to wash away the grey
'Cause the scar you left is here to stay
(Pre-Chorus)
It ain't the weight of your mistake
Or how deep my own heart breaks
It’s that one little word you drop so light
Like it means nothin', that’s what stings all night
Why don't you flip the script and ask me,"How would you feel?"
(Chorus)
Don't say you're sorry, just come and hold me tight
I need to hear"I love you,""God, I missed you," right?
Whisper"You're amazing," or"I was lost without you"
Tell me I'm your only one, yeah, you know how to
Don't say you're sorry, just meet my gaze for real
You know you got my heart shakin', you see how I feel
Don't give me easy words, show me what's deep inside
Tell me that you love me, that you love me, one more time
(Verse 2)
Remember? The start of us, the little things you'd say
Had me blushin' all day long, laughin' the night away
"Damn, you're lookin' lovely,""Love the sound of your voice"
That's the kinda talk that made you my only choice
So when did it all change? The praise all disappeared
Now it’s just mistakes and sorries, the one thing that I hear
Feels like our love language got a messed up redesign
Who's even driving this relationship of mine?
(Pre-Chorus)
It ain't the weight of your mistake
Or the ache my heart can't shake
It's that empty echo that you leave behind
Plays on a loop and messes with my mind
Why don't you just get mad at me? At least that would be true
(Chorus)
Don't say you're sorry, just come and hold me tight
I need to hear"I love you,""God, I missed you," right?
Whisper"You're amazing," or"I was lost without you"
Tell me I'm your only one, yeah, you know how to
Don't say you're sorry, just meet my gaze for real
You know you got my heart shakin', you see how I feel
Don't give me easy words, show me what's deep inside
Tell me that you love me, that you love me, one more time
(Bridge)
For real, what would you do?
If all I ever said was"sorry" back to you?
Would you call that love, or just an obligation?
We're fallin' apart, is this a good situation?
(Chorus / Outro)
Don't say you're sorry! (Please!)
Just pull me in and hold me (Hold me now)
I need to hear"I love you,""God, I missed you"
(That's all I need)
Tell me"You did great today," or"It's good to be with you"
Or just take my hand, you don't gotta say a thing, I want you to
That word"sorry"... instead of that sound...
Just tell me that you love me now.
