Say Something
Jason Black 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
