Make Sure it Hurts Lyrics by Mackenzie Shrieve

In the While

2021

[Verse]
I’m not ready yet
I just want one more minute
Before you hang up this time

And you ask me
If I ever will be
But if I just stare at you
Maybe then you’ll change your mind

[Chorus]
I think I need you to say the words
Don’t sidestep around it
Make sure it hurts

I don’t want to be over it

[Verse]
Cause you know everything
And I can’t pretend
That hearing your voice on the phone
Makes us seem so indifferent

And the next time I’m in New York City
You won’t be there nеxt to me
Won’t hold your hand down any street
Or switch positions in our sleep

[Chorus]
I think I need you to say the words
Don’t sidestеp around it
Make sure it hurts

And yeah tell me I was your world
I’ll try and believe it
Even if I’m cold
I don’t want to be over it

[Verse]
Won’t you sway with me
Our feet six stories up
We’ll play the “Clair de lune”
Sweet piano
Close our eyes and wish our luck

How do I say goodbye
To a girl like you
My Brooklyn baby
Tiny dancer
Fireworks in every room

[Chorus]
I think I need you to say the words
Don’t sidestep around it
Make sure it hurts

And damn tell me I was your world
I’ll try and believe it
Even if I’m cold
I don’t want to be over it

[Bridge]
I don’t want anyone else to know me better than you do
I don’t want anyone else to know you up and down like I do

I don’t want anyone else to know me better than you do
I don’t want anyone else to know you up and down like I do

I don’t want anyone else to know me better than you do
I don’t want anyone else to know you up and down like I do

I don’t want anyone else to know me better than you do
I don’t want anyone else to know you up and down like I do

[Verse]
And you know nineteen to twenty-three could’ve been a lifetime
You hazy dream
I don’t know yet what it will mean
But there has to be some fucking reason

Why I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I still love you, I love you, I love you, I’ll always love you

[Chorus]
Which is why I need you to say the words
Don’t sidestep around it
Make sure it hurts

And damn tell me I was your world
I’ll try and believe it
Even if I’m cold
I don’t want to be over it

I’m not ready yet
