Say It Back

I have the longest nights. 
Can never put the world to rights. 
And I've never been good at saying 
what I should. 

I never take advice. 
Please come back. 
I promise I won't fight. 
You'd end up staying. 
Maybe for good. 

You said you loved me. 
like I was brand new.  
You loved me and I knew. 
I know I should  
have said it back,   
and I've still not  
Forgiven myself for that.  

The midnight sheets 
on my desperate skin. 
They saw me weep. 
Can't keep it in. 

This bed is cold 
and it fits two,   
but you're not here to hold. 
No one is, since you.  

You said you loved me. 
like I was brand new. 
You loved me and I knew. 
I know I should 
have said it back, 
and I've still not 
forgiven myself for that. 

If I lose my voice, 
it'll serve me right. 
I had a choice.  
Didn't get it right. 

You said you loved me. 
I had someone who loved me. 
You loved me and I knew. 
I know I should 
have said it back, 
and I've still not 
forgiven myself for that. 

I know I should 
have said it back, 
and I've still not 
forgiven myself for that.
