Say Something
Alex Sierra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
The lyrics in Alex Sierra's "Say Something" express a feeling that anyone who has ever loved and lost can identify with. The singer is letting go of someone who they deeply love, but who can't or won't reciprocate their feelings. The opening line of "Say something, I'm giving up on you" is a powerful plea for the person they love to give them some kind of indication that there is hope for their love, but ultimately, the repeated chorus of "Say something, I'm giving up on you" highlights how helpless the singer feels in the situation.
The second verse delves a little deeper into the singer's emotions, with the line "And I will stumble and fall, I'm still learning to love. Just starting to crawl" showing vulnerability and a sense of trying to figure out how love works. The next line, "And I will swallow my pride," shows a willingness to do whatever it takes to make this love work, even if it means giving up parts of themselves. But ultimately, the singer accepts that they need to say goodbye to this person they love, even if it hurts.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of heartbreak, love, and the difficult act of letting go. It's easy to see why it resonated with so many listeners when it was released.

You can see Sierra's hands shake as she plays and she plays beautifully :)

I'm so glad they won, not because they have the greatest of voices but because they represent true love and innocence that is sorely missed in this troubled world that we live in today. Listening to them makes me forget for a moment all my problems! I hope they enjoy an unspoiled career without being corrupted by greedy, money making producers and all that comes from being famous. Best of luck to them!

Such an amazing song for these two to sing, especially when they are so much in love. Just absolutely beautiful. I have been with my husband for 18 years now, and I would not change a thing about it, I love the way he looks at me when he sings to me, and how he holds my hand and loves me for me and our children the same way. I feel that Alex and Sierra make an awesome couple and they remind me of me and my husband when we first started out. I love these two, their so awesome, I think their going to win, and I pray they do :) Good luck Alex and Sierra, your amazing :) <3
