[Chorus][heavily glitched and distorted] I’ll maaaaaake you saaaaaaay [Verse 1] I’ve been quiet in the corner of the room Watching everyone decide what I’m supposed to do Smiling when it’s easier than telling you the truth That I’ve been building something heavy in my chest, for you [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a throne, I don’t need a parade Just one honest sentence that can’t be taken away Look at what I carried, look at what I became Don’t look past me—say my name [Glitched instrumental solo] [Chorus] I’ll maaaaaake you saaaaaaay How prooooooud yooou are of me So staaaaaay awaaaaaaake Just looooooong enough to see My waaaaaaay [Verse 2] I’ve worn doubt like a jacket in the rain Heavier every season, but I never complained I’ve been paying all my dreams in overtime Trading sleep for a chance to feel alive And if I’m being real, I wanted you to notice Not the highlight reel—the bruises and the focus The days I didn’t call ‘cause I was scared you’d hear me break So I bit my tongue and let the silence feel “okay” [Instrumental solo] [Chorus] I’ll maaaaaake you saaaaaaay How prooooooud yooou are of me So staaaaaay awaaaaaaake Just looooooong enough to see My waaaaaaay [Bridge] Maybe it’s petty, maybe it’s pain Maybe I’m tired of being brave in the same old way I’ve been strong for so long it started feeling like[heavily glitched] a role Like I’m only worth love when I’m under control So here’s the truth I never learned to speak: I needed you when I was weak Not just when the story ends and I look like victory I needed you in the middle—when it was killing me But if you can’t go back, then don’t fake it now Just meet me in this moment, say it out loud Say you see me, say you mean it Say it like it matters—’cause I need it [Guitar and drum glitched solo] [Final Chorus][Heavily glitched and distorted] I'll taaaaaaake your plaaaaaace The maaaaaasses shout for me Your naaaaaame, your faaaaaace Belooooooong to history I’ll maaaaaaake you saaaaaay How proooooooud yooou are of me So staaaaaay awaaaaaake Just loooooong enough to see My waaaaaaay [Instrumental] [Outro] Staaaaay awaaaaaake… Just loooooong enough to see… My waaaaaaaay!!!!!!
