I saw the way you froze

When you looked at your phone

And I know

You said it’s nothing much

Just a friend from long ago

But you don’t show

The way you used to light up when it’s me

Now I’m just a memory on repeat

So if you’re walking out that door tonight

Just do me one last thing before goodbye

Say it was me

Say I was cold, I made you lonely

Say I forgot how to hold you closely

Say anything that helps you feel free

But don’t say she

Was everything I couldn’t be

If she’s the one who makes you leave

Then don’t be kind, don’t set me free

Say it was me

I’d rather take the blame

Than hear her name

On your lips again

I’ll play the villain if you want

I’ll be the one who did you wrong

Just play along

’Cause I don’t need the honest truth tonight

I need a version where I’m not replaced in your life

So if you’re fading out of love with me

Don’t let it be her that sets you free

Say it was me

Say I was cold, I made you lonely

Say I forgot how to hold you closely

Say anything that helps you feel free

But don’t say she

Was everything I couldn’t be

If she’s the one who makes you leave

Then don’t be kind, don’t set me free

Say it was me

Lie to my face if it softens the fall

I’d rather hate myself than lose it all

Give me a reason I can hold and break

Not her name

Say it was me

Say I was cold, I made you lonely

Say I forgot how to hold you closely

Say anything that helps you feel free

But don’t say she

Was everything I couldn’t be

If she’s the one who makes you leave

Then let me drown in make-believe

Say it was me

Say it was me…

Just don’t say her name
