Say You Will
I Alone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I really thought I made a difference
I guess I fell short in your eyes
Well that's no surprise, that's no surprise
If you meant it like you said you did
If you wonder what you could have said
Would you meet me on that broken path
The colors of your composition
Are shining with a new condition
If we could use a little restraint
Then maybe we could make our escape
Maybe we could make our escape
If you meant it like you said you did
If you wonder what you could have said
Would you meet me on that broken path
Say you will, Say you will
I hope you're fine with all the indecision
The lack of purpose and the misdirection
I'm gone
I tried to hide it with the best intentions
But couldn't stand up to your self-reflection
I'm gone
If you meant it like you said you did
If you wonder what you could have said
Would you meet me on that broken path
Say you will, Say you will
If you meant it like you said you did
If you wonder what you could have said
Would you meet me on that broken path
Say you will, Say you will
The lyrics of "Say You Will" by I Alone speak about disappointment in relationships and the desire to reconcile with the person. The song's opening lines suggest the singer feels misunderstood and unappreciated, and that he fell short of the other person's expectations. Nonetheless, he still hopes to meet the other person halfway and repair the relationship. He asks for the other person's commitment to the relationship, ensuring that they meant what they said earlier on. The line "Say you will, Say you will" is an appeal for the person to reciprocate the singer's intention, committing to the relationship.
In the second verse, the singer seems to be reflecting on the potential of the relationship, with "The colors of your composition / Are shining with a new condition." However, he acknowledges the need for restraint to escape the problems in their relationship. The third verse deals with the singer's growth and personal struggles. He talks about his lack of purpose and misdirection, and how he failed to measure up to the other person's expectations. He also hints his own desire to escape.
In conclusion, "Say You Will" offers a deeply introspective look into a complex relationship that is struggling to find footing. Despite that, the song's key message is that there is still hope for reconciliation if both parties are willing to put in the effort.
