Say the Rest
You keep starting that sentence
Then swallowing half
Go on You say,
"I was thinking," then you check
your phone Like the screen might
save you from saying what I
know You lean in,
pull back,
smile like that was planned You're
doing all this talking with your
eyes and not your hands Don't
tidy it up,
don't make it sound right You
already came this far,
so
Say the rest,
say the rest You gave me
half the truth,
I want what comes next Say
the rest,
don't edit yourself You're looking right
at me,
so say the rest Say
the rest
You got, you got,
you got You got one more
word, don't waste it
You got one more word,
don't waste it
Now you're laughing at nothing Tracing
circles on your glass Buying time
in little seconds I'm gonna let
them pass I could make it
easy, I could say it first
But where's the fun in saving
you when you're making this much
worse? Almost No perfect line,
no second attempt I like you
better honest,
so
Say the rest,
say the rest You gave me
half the truth,
I want what comes next Say
the rest,
don't edit yourself You're looking right
at me,
so say the rest
Say
the rest
Was it "stay"?
Was it "come here"?
Was it something you don't usually
say out loud?
No, no, don't let me help
you now You started it,
finish it You started it,
finish it
Go on
Say the rest,
say the rest No hiding in
the middle,
no maybe,
no "I guess" Say the rest,
I'm already this close If you
mean what I think you mean,
then I wanna hear it most
Say the rest,
say the rest You gave me
half the truth,
I want what comes next Say
the rest,
say the rest Say
the rest
Was that so hard?
