Say Something
Grey Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say something, I′m giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere I would have 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 have 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
I'm sorry that I couldn′t get to you
Anywhere I would have followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you




Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something

Overall Meaning

Grey Love's "Say Something" is a haunting ballad about the painful reality of giving up on a love that is no longer reciprocated. The lyrics express the helpless feeling of wanting to do anything to make the relationship work but ultimately realizing that it is time to let go. The singer of the song is pleading with their lover to speak up or make a move, to give them a reason to not give up on the relationship. However, the silence is deafening, and the singer is left feeling small and helpless, unsure of what to do next.


The second verse talks about the singer's own vulnerability and their struggles with love - how it feels like they are still learning to love and just starting to crawl. Finally, after expressing their love for the other person, they decide to swallow their pride and say goodbye. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and melody only amplifies the sense of desperation and hopelessness that the singer is feeling. In essence, "Say Something" is a powerful and emotional song about the courage it takes to know when it's time to let go and move on.
