SAY SOMETHING
Bianca Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And 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 am feeling so small
It was over my head
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Woah
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Oh yeah
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, say something
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you, yeah
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something
Bianca Ryan's "Say Something" is a soulful ballad about the frustration and heartbreak of feeling like you've done everything you can to save a relationship, but it's still falling apart. The song opens with the line "Say something, I'm giving up on you," which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is feeling small and helpless, realizing that despite their best efforts, they can't make their partner change their mind or come back to them. The line "and I will stumble and fall, I'm still learning to love, just starting to crawl" shows the vulnerability of the singer, admitting that they still have a lot to learn about love and relationships.
The chorus is powerful, with the repetition of "Say something" driving home the desperation of the situation. The singer is begging for any sign that their partner still cares, but when they receive none, they realize it's time to let go. The line "I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you" shows that the singer still cares deeply for their partner, but they recognize that they can't force someone to stay with them.
Overall, "Say Something" is a heart-wrenching depiction of the pain of a failing relationship, and the difficulty of knowing when it's time to walk away.

This should have been the GOLDEN BUZZER!
Nothing against Susan Boyle.
It’s just that this young woman DID endure so much to get back to give us this Magical performance. She deserved to move on.
WE DESERVED TO HEAR MORE BIANCA!!!!

@Henry Arcay I did and Bianca Ryan is by far much better vocalist and she sings the real score instead of making up a new melody.
