Say Anything
Ashley Nite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About us I'd be okay
It's like stepping out of the haze
Getting pushed right back in
I know you have the best intentions
Why'd you have to go and mention him
It's just like salt poured on a wound
Every word keeps cuttin' through
Or leave it alone and don't say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Every shadow passing me by
I imagine his outline
And when I go to reach for his hand
I lose my mind
I'm already haunted inside
I don't need to be reminded
It's just like salt poured on a wound
Every word keeps cuttin' through
It's just like salt poured on a wound
Every word keeps cuttin' through
Say something stupid, something distracting
Or leave it alone and don't say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Are you doing okay
Are you gonna be all right
It's just like salt poured on a wound
Every word keeps cuttin' through
Say something stupid, something distracting
Or leave it alone and don't say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Don't say, don't say
Say anything
Anything
Anything
Ooh, say anything
