SAY SOMETHING
Christina Aguilera A Great Big World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something
, I'm giving up on you is a song by American singer Christina Aguilera featuring A Great Big World. The song is a heartbreak ballad that speaks to the pain one feels when they've reached the end of a relationship. In the first verse, the singer tells the person they're giving up on them but that they'll be the one to stay if requested. They express how they would follow them anywhere but they can't keep waiting for something that may not happen.
In the second verse, the singer expresses feeling small and how they know nothing about the situation. They're still learning to love and are starting from scratch. They're sorry for not being able to get to the person and how they're giving up on them as they swallow their pride. In the chorus, they repeat the title line of the song, Say something, I'm giving up on you, as they've admitted defeat.

My eyes always get teary when I hear this song.
I remember the time everything seemed perfect, no drama, no fighting, no envy.
But as I grew older, I got to see how cruel the world and its people can be.
When I was 12, my parents started fighting a lot. My dad found out that my mom was cheating on him with someone who was 18 years younger than her. That really broke his heart, I remember seeing him cry all day.
Unfortunately,I barely get to see him now. He never comes at my place to check up, nor does my mom.
My parents were never really there for me either. They were absent for most of my life. They were never there for me when I needed them the most.
They used to be all "lovey dovey" back then but now they both hate eachother.
I lost a lot of important people through out my life too.
You don't want to imagine how I felt, when I lost the best person in my life. My little brother. He will always be in my heart, no matter what.
A lot of people would compare me to my seniors, cousins and friends etc
They would always make me feel like I was a disappointment. They would let all there anger out on me, knowing that I had a very fragile heart and was a naive child.
Honestly, it's partly my fault too. I never stood up for myself because I thought they knew what was right and I didn't.
I was just a very "coward" child.
Now that I have grown up, I am chasing after my dreams and focusing on myself and not on others. I have many people supporting me, even tho my family isn't.
Edit= I am in last year of university right now, my field was towards writing and books. My parents never really supported my dreams, but I kept going after what I wanted. What i wrote above was only half of what happened since I wanted to keep the rest private.
Know that life will always be full of obstacles, that one must pass to proceed the next level. Never give up when you are in time of distress and remember that what you're going through will eventually last.

You know what someone once told me “don’t take life seriously, no one ever makes it out alive.” And that hit me so hard.
