Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said my name once and my chest went still Like you packed a storm in a paper-thin chill One small word but I read your whole face What you left hanging filled up the space [Pre-Chorus] You can say it soft You can say it cruel One little word can break the rules It can mean stay It can mean go It can open the door or lock it close [Chorus] One word says a thousand things One word says what silence brings Say it slow Say it straight One word can change my day (One word) [Verse 2] You said “maybe” at dinner with your eyes on the plate I heard a whole winter in the edge of that taste Then “fine” in the hallway meant tears in disguise And “hey” in the morning felt like sunrise [Pre-Chorus] You can dress it up You can hide the blade But one small word still leaves a trace It can mean hold on It can mean leave One little word runs deep in me [Chorus] One word says a thousand things One word says what silence brings Say it slow Say it straight One word can change my day (One word) [Bridge] And I know it’s never just sound It’s the floor in your voice when it caves in down It’s the truth you won’t explain A single word with a hurricane [Final Chorus] One word says a thousand things One word says what silence brings Say it now Don’t make me guess One word can be the rest One word says a thousand things (One word)
