SAY SOMETHING
Grace Page 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
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
And 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
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something...
