You love me
You love me
You love me
Say you love me

You love me

Silence in my head
Keep holding onto all those words unsaid
Lost in all I do
But I keep holding onto you

Say you love me
Right now I feel so lost without you
Say you love me
I can't live another day without hearing you
Say, say, say, say, say, say, saying
Without hearing you
Say, say, say, say, say, say, saying
You love me

Every single time frustrated
All I wanna hear is you
Open up your mouth and say it

Still lost in all I do
But I keep holding onto you

Say you love me
Right now I feel so lost without you
Say you love me
I can't live another day without hearing you
Say, say, say, say, say, say, saying
Without hearing you
Say, say, say, say, say, say, saying

All you have to do is trust me
Enough to never let me go, ooh

Right now I feel so lost without you
Say you love me
I can't live another day without hearing you
Say, say, say, say, say, say, saying
Without hearing you

Say, say, say, say, say, say, saying
You love me
