Say Something
Haven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't say anything 'cause I don't mean it
Won't make a promise 'cause I won't keep it
Believe me now, I'd only lie to you

Well I've said that thought a thousand times
I believe in something that I can't find
So believe me now, I'd only lie to you
Now won't you say something
Please say something
And believe me now, I'd only lie to you

I spend my time collecting all these scars
And I know I'm, lying by the truth that's in your charm
I hope down inside, I can't be what I'm not

Well I've said that thought a thousand times
I believe in something that I can't find
So believe me now, I'd only lie to you

Now won't you say something
Please say something
And believe me now, I'd only lie to you

Now won't you say something




Please say something
And believe me now, I'd only lie to you
