Say It If You Care

Say it if you care
Don’t leave me in the air
Don’t hide behind the quiet  
Like the truth ain’t sitting there

Say it when it’s shaking 
When your voice is barely sound
When your heartbeat’s kicking warnings  
And your courage’s breaking ground

Say it like a drumline  
Pounding through the dark 
Like a spark that keeps on glowing  
When the night is cold and stark 

Say it when it’s risky
When the moment’s razor thin
When the fear of losing something  
Makes you lock your feelings in

Say it with intention  
Not a whisper you repair
Say it when it matters
Say it if you care
