just say it.

I know you heard me call you

And you know we need to talk

There's something between us

Don't draw back

I want to help you

Don't pretend everything's fine

I hate elephants in the room

So cut the curteousy

You call me Abba and Friend

So why this formality?

We both know what you're thinking

And I know what you've done

You can feign confidence

But only for so long

When your reality is exposed

You cower and run

Why are we doing this again?

The same old song resung

Please stop playing games 

It's costing you

Every moment in hiding 

Steals my moments with you 

Are you ready to talk?

I miss intimacy with you!

Just say it, ok?

I want to hear what's on your mind

So what if it's ugly

You won't shock me this time

Remember last week?

And the months before that?

Just say it already

Get it off your chest

The pressure is building

You're ignoring a mess

I'm not interested in sterile 

For you, I want the best 

Just say it out loud

Let it cross the threshold of your lips

It matters, I promise

Though you feel stupid and foolish

It won't change my love for you

Not one little bit

Just say it

I can take it

Spill every nasty lie to me

Now's the time, my little one

Put the idols in my hands

Throw the anger at my feet

And I know that you "know better"

But your brain won't pass this test

Verbalize your thoughts

Let me into your heart

So you can stop figuring it out alone

I want to give you rest!

Just say it

I promise it will be worth it

Spit it out

Though your ugliness scares you

My blood made you perfect

Don't be afraid

My light can chase your darkness

Out in the open

We have somewhere to start

I want to help you, not hurt you 

But, if you won't own it

How can I transform your heart?

Find freedom right here 

Let me tell you who you are

You are loved, You are chosen 

You are mended, not broken

You're enough, You are mine

You are worthy, You are lovely

You're my blessing, not my burden

You are priceless, gold interwoven

You're redeemed, You are pure

Against your shame, my love has spoken

So, please say it to Me

The One who knows you the best

Gather doubt and fear

Burning holes in your chest

Hand it over to me

Steadfast love conquers this test

Oh, and one more thing

If I already know

Then why bring it up?

Why rehearse the pain?

Why walk through the muck? 

I don't enjoy it either

But I don't want you stuck 

Just say it to Me

So we can move on

There's too much in your tomorrows

To let deception rob even one 

I do integrity and honesty

Come discover my ways 

Come sit with me and say it

I'll give you a new song

As you confess, I will address

And redeem every wrong

Just say it

Your words will end the night...

...My words will break the dawn
