Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need ya, I'll be alright."
But some things are better left unsaid.
To tell the truth, it hit me hard
A broken heart is all I have now
But some things are better left unsaid
I miss you more every day
But some things are better left unsaid,
Are better left unsaid, said, said...
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
I'm gonna say things like, "Shut up and kiss me!"
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna lose some things
Don't play me, just kiss me.
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me, just kiss me.
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say things, don't play me, just kiss me, babe
I could tell a lie, blame tonight
Too many drinks, so many reasons
That some things are better left unsaid
And I swore that I would never say
I miss you more every day
But some things are better left unsaid
Are better left unsaid, said, said...
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
I'm gonna say things like, "Shut up and kiss me!"
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'm gonna lose some things
Don't play me, just kiss me.
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me, just kiss me.
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say things, don't play me, just kiss me, babe
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
Don't play me, just kiss me.
Oh-ooh-whoa-ooh-oh-oh
Tonight I'll say things, don't play me, just kiss me
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
If you wanna party, put your hands up
Put your hands up put your hands up
You tell a lie, blame tonight
Too many drinks, so many reasons that some things are better left unsaid
The song "Testify" by Better Left Unsaid describes the dilemma of wanting to express one's feelings for an ex-partner but realizing that some things are better left unspoken. The lyrics begin with the singer recalling the moment they told their ex to "get out my life" and that they will be alright without them. However, they immediately confess that some things are better left unsaid. The irony in the statement highlights the conflict between the desire to let go and move on but not knowing what to say.
The second verse reveals that the breakup has left the singer with a broken heart. They reflect on the promise they made to themselves never to admit that they miss their ex, but once again, they acknowledge that some things are better left unsaid.
The chorus is an expression of the singer's frustration and confusion. They want to be straightforward about their intentions and feelings but end up resorting to shallow phrases like "shut up and kiss me" to try and provoke a reaction from their ex. The repetitive refrain "don't play me, just kiss me" suggests that the singer is tired of the games and wants a genuine connection, even if it means revealing vulnerable emotions.
Overall, "Testify" is a relatable song about the struggle of balancing the desire to be honest with oneself and others with the fear of vulnerability and rejection.
