But I don't wanna tell you
We've been contemplating how to give it up
But I can't convince you
And we've been hopelessly holding too tight
When we don't even need to
And as the water fills this sinking ship
I know we have to leave too
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Mayday, mayday
This is an emergency
Mayday, mayday
You've gotta let me leave
I'm laying here, inches away
But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
I said I'm moving on, 'cause things were getting rough
But here I am in your bed
I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone
Now we're in over our heads
It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times
For worse or for better
It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind
And say goodbye forever
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Mayday, mayday
This is an emergency
Mayday, mayday
You've gotta let me leave
I'm laying here, inches away
But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
Oh, you gotta let me leave
Oh, the weight will make us sink
Oh, could you please help me leave?
Oh, abandon ship with me
Mayday, mayday
This is an emergency
Mayday, mayday
You've gotta let me leave
I'm laying here, inches away
But you can't hear me call mayday
Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you)
The song "Mayday" by Cam is a poignant tale of a relationship that has run its course. The singer is stuck in a relationship she no longer wishes to be a part of but is unable to convince her partner to end it. She describes feeling suffocated and trapped, unable to leave but knowing that they must abandon ship before they sink. The title "Mayday" is a distress signal used in emergency situations, which perfectly captures the urgent need to escape the relationship.
In the first verse, Cam expresses her frustration with her partner's overbearing nature and admits that she does not love them. She is aware that the relationship needs to end, but she cannot bring herself to tell her partner. They have both been holding on for too long, and it is time to let go. The second verse suggests that she had tried to end things before, but it became too difficult and resulted in her returning to her partner's bed. She now realizes that they are in too deep and must either sink or swim. The decision to leave tears her heart in two, but she knows it is the best choice for both of them.
Overall, "Mayday" is a painful but relatable story of the end of a relationship. It's a song about the courage to let go and embrace change, no matter how difficult it may be.

You are overbearing, I'm not in love
I don't have romantic feelings for you, but you are suffocating me
But I don't wanna tell you
I'm afraid of hurting your feelings by being honest with you
We've been contemplating how to give it up
We've been thinking about ending things
But I can't convince you
You're not willing to let go
And we've been hopelessly holding too tight
We've been clinging on to each other even though it's not good for us
When we don't even need to
We don't actually need each other to be happy
And as the water fills this sinking ship
Our relationship is sinking and it's too late to save it
I know we have to leave too
It's time for us to end things
Mayday, mayday
I am in distress
This is an emergency
Our relationship is in trouble and we need to fix it or end it
You've gotta let me leave
You need to let me go and move on
I'm laying here, inches away
I'm physically close to you, but emotionally distant
But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah
You're not listening to me when I try to end things
I said I'm moving on, 'cause things were getting rough
I tried to end things before but it didn't work
But here I am in your bed
I keep coming back to you even though I know it's not good for either of us
I strung it on too long, afraid to be alone
I prolonged this relationship out of fear of being single
Now we're in over our heads
We've gotten too deep into this unhealthy relationship
It's either sink or swim, we've tried so many times
We've tried to fix things, but it's not working
For worse or for better
We've been through good times and bad times
It tears my heart in two to leave it all behind
Leaving you hurts me deeply but it's for the best
And say goodbye forever
Our relationship is over and we won't see each other again
Oh, you gotta let me leave
You need to let me go
Oh, the weight will make us sink
Staying together will only make things worse
Oh, could you please help me leave?
I need your cooperation to move on
Oh, abandon ship with me
Let's both end this toxic relationship together

I struggle to understand how this gal hasn't blown up yet. She has an incredible voice, and to top it off, she's breathtakingly beautiful!

Probably because once Home Free does your song it tends to become their song. Worst thing that can happen is to have Home Free cover you...
Alicia Griffith
Annnnnnnnnd her songs are impeccable!!! She is singing from a perspective i hope one day to escape from. I adore her and i dont get how she isnt bigger either. Wtf
David Coddington
@Alicia Griffith ,, Well, in order to "go big" certain contractual requirements have to be met. Most people with scruples refuse to compromise their ethics for stardom.
David Coddington
@StephenP39 ,, Well, after watching HF vid, how many looked up Cams video? Beside, Cam had good things to say about the HF vid.
Pamela Colling
@David Coddington I well after hearing hf I starting searching. Really enjoyed it
De'Asha Mitchell
This goes to show that a person doesn't have to take their clothes off to have a good video. This video has class and I absolutely love the song and her voice!!! Go Cam!

Please Cam do not take anything off as your songs are hard on the ears, we don't need anything hard on the eyes.
