Say It Late-alt

Don’t say it now. Not yet.

You hold words in your mouth Like they taste too strong. Like if they come out clean They won’t belong.

Your eyes don’t move, But your hands do. Like you’re deciding What to lose.

No music in the room, Just breath and doubt. You don’t speak When there’s still a way out.

You don’t wait this long Unless it matters

Say it late, When it can’t be undone. Say it when the lights go out And there’s nowhere left to run. If you mean my name, Say it when it breaks. Don’t say it early — Say it late.

They told us truth heals fast, But not like this. Sometimes honesty Is a loaded kiss.

You don’t cry, You don’t fight. You just lean in close Like you’re choosing the night.

I don’t need it clean, I don’t need it straight. I just need to know Before it’s too late.

You don’t whisper like that Unless you’re already gone

Say it late, When there’s no repair. Say it when it changes us And you still don’t care. If you’re gonna leave, Leave no mistake. Don’t say it early — Say it late.

Not now. When it costs.

Say it late, When the door’s already closed. Say it when the silence Is heavier than we chose. If we’re breaking anyway, Let it break for real. Don’t say it early — Say it when you feel.
