The Crane Wives
Say It
[Verse 1]
Did the real me corrupt the fantasy?
Did I spoil the view?
Buildup is almost always better than getting what you want
Did I disappoint you?

[Chorus]
Say it
If it’s over, say it
So I can move forward
Please don’t leave me in the dark
Praying for a wayward spark

[Verse 2]
I’m haunted by your tenderness
You gave me a soft place to land
You held up a mirror, and showed me what I've been
Hiding from for years
Was that just sleight of hand?

[Chorus]
Say it
If it’s over, say it
So I can move forward
Please don’t leave me in the dark
Praying for a wayward spark
Say it, if it’s done
Speak the words, and I will move on
You know I'm loyal to a fault
I will sit hеre waiting for the axe to fall
[Verse 3]
If you could, would you еrase me?
Eradicate me from your mind, ooh
And if we were to meet as strangers again
Would you let me pass you by?
Would you refuse to meet my eyes?

[Chorus]
Say it
If it’s over, say it
So I can move forward
Please don’t leave me in the dark
Praying for a wayward spark
Say it, if it’s done
Speak the words and I will be gone
You know I'm loyal to a fault
I will sit here waiting
I will sit here waiting
Waiting for the axe to fall
