SAY YOU LOVE ME
Blu-Swing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you needed me I ran away
Ran away like the scared child I am
I pulled you mear just to push you away
Just to puh you away from my heart
Don't tell me that you love me
Cuz I never was good to you
I can only say sorry
I know your love for me was true
And you opened up your world to me
Just like a fool you came and you let me in
You should have known that I was a thief
Who'd leave your heart
Laying in pieces on the floor

Now the wind wispers out your name
And my shame lays deep into my bones




I know I can never be the same
For leaving you all alone

When you needed me I ran away
I fled from you when you needed my help


Ran away like the scared child I am
I left like a frightened child would do in a stressful situation


I pulled you near just to push you away
I kept bringing you closer only to push you apart from me


Just to push you away from my heart
I kept you away from my true emotions and feelings


Don't tell me that you love me
Please do not express your love for me


Cuz I never was good to you
I wasn't kind or loving towards you


I can only say sorry
All I can do is apologize


I know your love for me was true
I understand that you loved me genuinely


And you opened up your world to me
You shared your life and universe with me openly


Just like a fool you came and you let me in
You foolishly trusted me and allowed me into your life


You should have known that I was a thief
You should have realized that I was going to steal your heart


Who'd leave your heart laying in pieces on the floor
I was the one who broke your heart and left it shattered on the ground


Now the wind whispers out your name
The breeze talks about you quietly


And my shame lays deep into my bones
I feel immense guilt that is rooted inside me


I know I can never be the same
I realize that I can never change who I am


For leaving you all alone
I am sorry for making you feel lonely and abandoned
