Say Something
Boy Epic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say something, I'm giving up on you
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
I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl

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

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
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you





Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...

The second verse of the song talks about the singer's feelings of smallness and ignorance in the situation. They feel like they know nothing at all and are still learning to love, indicating that they may be younger or inexperienced in relationships. The chorus repeats the initial message of the song, with the singer saying that they are giving up on their partner and apologizing for not being able to reach them.

Thank you, for being one of the few that really put so much emotion into this song. Most of the other covers I've listened too were so busy trying to make it sound good that they missed the whole emotional point and connection of the song... You really made it sound good and brought the same level and depth of emotion that I believe the creator of the song intended for it. Not that my opinion means all that much but thought I would share anyway :) thanks.
