Say
Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
It's such an air
Of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

When you're near
It's such an air
Of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change




From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Grace's song "Say" convey a sense of longing and sadness that comes with saying goodbye to someone you deeply care about. The repetitive phrase "Every time we say goodbye, I die a little" reflects the emotional toll that each farewell takes on the singer. It emphasizes the pain and heartbreak experienced when parting ways with a loved one.


The lyrics also express a sense of confusion and questioning. The singer wonders why fate or "the gods above" allow their loved one to leave, suggesting a feeling of betrayal or abandonment. The line "Think so little of me, they allow you to go" highlights a lack of self-worth and a sense of not being valued enough to keep the person close.


However, despite the sadness and longing, there is a glimmer of hope in the lyrics. The mention of the "air of Spring" and the sound of a lark singing suggests that even in the midst of heartache, there is beauty and renewal. The lark's song becomes a metaphor for the possibility of love and happiness, even in the face of goodbye.


Overall, "Say" captures the bittersweet emotions of love, loss, and the struggle to let go. It explores the complex feelings that arise when saying goodbye to someone we hold dear, with a mix of vulnerability, confusion, and a flicker of hope.

SAY LYRICS
[Intro]
Why you always gotta play that, play that
You always know that I'm...
Why you always gotta play that, play that
Don't you love me? Say you love me too

[Verse 1]
I want everything, yeah the full Monte Carlo
We takin' off, they callin' me Apollo
Thirteen, back then we was sleepy hollow
Pretty tight and we'd hope, we'd hope we see tomorrow
When you're lost it's best to look but love it
We got nothin', at least we got each other
And we ain't never gonna lose that
Everything's the same, yeah we all go through that
Freddie got a bike, yeah, he got him a Haro
He single, leading all the girls, they follow
Now they crying, sorry for their sorrow
The highway to happiness is pretty narrow
Time is bowing to me, just so I owe
Food for thought, why is it hard to swallow
That attitude, you gotta lose that
Everything's the same, yeah we all go through that

[Chorus]
I can't see no other, it couldn't be no other
Oh, so I wanna go where you are
He said, "Don't you love me? Say you love me"
See no other, it couldn't be no other
Oh, so I wanna go where you are
He said, "Don't you love me? Say you love me"

[Verse 2]
I ain't an angel, not a nun, and no you ain't no bishop
Bad girls gon' need forgiving
Take a look at you and how you livin'
She smokin' loud, that's why she never listens
And she don't love you, she love your ambition
And when you break up that's an intermission
Now, now, now, now you got your old bool back
Everything's the same, yeah we all go through that
Kimmy she don't eat, she wanna be a model
Either that or maybe win the lotto
When she ain't make it she pick up the bottle
Crash course, she goin' full throttle
When you're lost it's best to look but love it
We got, we got, we got nothin', at least we got each other
And we ain't never gonna lose that
Everything's the same, yeah we all go through that

[Chorus]
I said I see no other, it couldn't be no other
Oh, so I wanna go where you are
He said, "Don't you love me? Say you love me"
See no other, it couldn't be no other
Oh, so I wanna go where you are
He said, "Don't you love me? Say you love me"

[Bridge]
Why you always gotta play that, play that
You always know that I'm...
Why you always gotta play that, play that
Don't you love me? Say you love me too
Why you always gotta play that, play that
You always know that I'm...
Why you always gotta play that, play that
Don't you love me? Say you love me too

[Chorus]
I can't see no other, it couldn't be no other
Oh, so I wanna go where you are
He said, "Don't you love me? Say you love me"
See no other, it couldn't be no other
Oh, so I wanna go where you are
He said, "Don't you love me? Say you love me"

[Outro]
Say you love me...too

Why isn't this track blowin' up radio as well as the charts? This is more dope than most of the stuff on the radio on repeat as i post this.

Lily Jackson

I love her voice

Caleb Hart

It's so rare that artists like Grace stay true to themselves. Something I have noticed most successful musicians share in common- they don't care about fitting in and they just love the music. I share this mentality with my music. If you're one of those awesome people to give a nobody like me a chance, stop by my channel. I might surprise you. Either way, always show love for the music and have a good one. Peace!

Kim Robinson

You're so bad ass!!! Amazing voice!!!! <3 This is so my song!
