Say Say Say
Fausto Papetti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever I will understand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand




You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fausto Papetti's "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" tell the story of a person who has been left by their loved one. The first verse highlights how the person was there for their loved one when they needed them, but now that they need their love in return, the loved one has left. The chorus then begins, showcasing the person's belief that their loved one doesn't have to say they love them, but just be close by their side. They understand that their loved one might not want to stay forever, but they just want them to be close and not leave them alone.


The second verse talks about how the person is left alone, with nothing but memories of their loved one. They feel as though they are in a trance, with life seeming unreal and all they feel is loneliness. However, they still have hope and cling onto the belief that their loved one can still be there for them without them having to say they love them.


Overall, the lyrics of this song convey the feeling of loneliness and longing, but also the hope that the love between the two people can still be present without explicit declarations of love.

When I said I needed you
When I expressed that I required your presence and care


You said you would always stay
You assured me that you would always remain by my side


It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
I did not modify my behavior, but you did, and as a result, you left me alone


Don't you see that now you've gone
Are you not able to comprehend that, now that you are gone


And I'm left here on my own
I am the only one here, without your company


That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
I must pursue you and implore you to return


You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to utter affectionate words, merely be in proximity to me


You don't have to stay forever I will understand
You can leave eventually, and I will manage to grasp your decision

Trust me, I am genuinely in love with you, and it is beyond my control


But believe me I'll never tie you down
I assure you that I will never restrict or confine you


Left alone with just a memory
Abandoned and exclusively possessing a mere recollection


Life seems dead and quite unreal
Existence seems stagnant and implausible


All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
What remains is loneliness, and there are no other emotions felt


You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to voice your love, just remain near me

Los instrumentos de viento sin duda han sido mis favoritos, siempre lo han sido desde que era pequeño. Y no se diga la música de Fausto Papetti, maravillosa.
