Face Me Then

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You look me in the eye Say you know my name Say you’ve got my back Like it’s all the same You keep me in your reach Like a fire you can hold But your hands stay empty Till the room goes cold [Pre-Chorus] You say “I care” Like that fixes it You say “I’m here” When you’re halfway in And I see it now In the way you stall You want my light But you won’t call [Chorus] You need me You need me You need me too late You need me You need me When I’m out of your gate You care when I’m near You care when I’m gone You cared all along Just not till I’m gone [Verse 2] I was your safe place You were my excuse I kept making space While you made your moves You liked the warm side Of what I gave away Now you’re holding shadows In the bed you made [Pre-Chorus] You say “I care” Like that fixes it You say “I’m here” When you’re halfway in And I see it now In the way you stall You want my light But you won’t call [Chorus] You need me You need me You need me too late You need me You need me When I’m out of your gate You care when I’m near You care when I’m gone You cared all along Just not till I’m gone [Bridge] Now the silence speaks Louder than your mouth You don’t miss my heart You miss what I held out And that’s the part You never understood Love isn’t a door That waits where you stood [Final Chorus] You need me You need me You need me too late You need me You need me When I’m out of your gate You care when I’m near You care when I’m gone You cared all along Just not till I’m gone
