Say Something
KIDZ BOP Kids 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
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm just learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm not giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
I would've followed you but silence from you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm not giving up on you
The Kidz Bop version of the song “Say Something” refines a song with a deeply emotive and poetic theme. The song tells a story of unrequited love and the unspoken emotions of one person who has tried for so long to speak up, but can no longer continue with the silence. The song begins with the singer admitting that they are giving up on the person they love. They wish to hear something, anything from them, to let them know that the love they share can still be salvaged.
The second verse is particularly deep as the singer is feeling so small - like they have no control and things have gone beyond what they can comprehend. They are only beginning to crawl, to learn about love and to adapt while experiencing setbacks, bumpy moments, and difficulties. The singer is admitting that they are going to fall and stumble along the way. The chorus returns, expressing that the singer is not yet giving up on this relationship but there must be some kind of communication between them. The accompanying music creates a sense of an aching distance, a sound of loss and melancholy that makes the lyrics even more emotionally poignant.
Line by Line Meaning
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm at the end of my rope and need you to respond to me
I'll be the one, if you want me to
I'm willing to do anything for you, but I need you to show me what you want
Anywhere I would've followed you
I'm devoted to you and would go anywhere you lead me
And I am feeling so small
I feel insignificant and helpless without you
It was over my head
The situation is too complex for me to understand or handle alone
I know nothing at all
I'm clueless and need your guidance and support
And I will stumble and fall
I'm bound to make mistakes as I try to learn to love and follow you
I'm just learning to love
I'm inexperienced in matters of the heart and need patience and understanding
Just starting to crawl
I'm trying to find my way and move forward, but I need your help to do so
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
I regret not being able to help or connect with you sooner
I would've followed you but silence from you
I wanted to support and be with you, but your lack of response makes it impossible
Say something, I'm not giving up on you
I still believe in us and am willing to keep trying if you'll communicate with me
