Don’t Say Me

[Alysha]
You remember that game, our senior year?
Travel back with me Joe
I know you know that final game
Ripped from a sitcom with me by the pep band

[All]
Shaking a pom, pom, pom, pom, pom

[Alysha]
You remember that game, the championship?
College scouts in the gym
They're watching you, we're down by three
God it got quiet with you at the buzzer

[All]
Shooting to tie it, to tie it, to tie it

[Alysha]
I knew you could have made it with your eyes closed
And I saw the stars align
The cheerleader's hеro boyfriend
Standing at the three point line

Thе shot, the game, college, pro
It all came down to this
And in my head I'm praying

[All]
Make him miss, make him miss
Make him miss, make him miss

[Alysha]
The shot that would've changed your life forever
Instead changed things in me
Sure it took some years to see it
But it came eventually

I can't be a sideline wife
Can't be your biggest fan
There's never any time for me

[All]
Which is why I ran, why I ran
Why I ran, why I ran

[Alysha]
So tell me, Joe
How'd you find me here?
Was my kitchen table post it note unclear?

It's over, Joe
I took the cat
All the rest is yours if you let me disappear

I'm through cheering for you, baby
That skirt don't fit me anymore
I don't love you now

[All]
Like I loved you before

[Alysha]
I begged you to tell me what your dreams were
Maybe yours would mesh with mine
But you're still stuck in high school
Standing at the three point line

When you see yourself at thirty, forty
Where do you wanna be?
Tell me what you want, Joe

[All]
Don't say me, don't say me
Don't say me, don't say me

[Alysha]
Before our time runs out
Before we're stuck with this
I'm taking my own shot

[All]
And I won't miss
