You Say
La-Vie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me
The lyrics to La-Vie's song "You Say" describe a situation where one person in a relationship has left the other. The person left behind is pleading for their lover to return, acknowledging that they cannot help but love them but also understanding that they cannot force them to stay. The chorus repeats the message that they do not need to say they love them, but simply be close and present in their life.
The opening lines of the song create a sense of betrayal, where the person who left had promised to always be there for the other. The singer of the song is left feeling abandoned and lost, and it seems that they did not expect this outcome. They are at a loss for how to move on without their lover, and feel that they must chase them in order to find any sense of peace.
The chorus of the song is a powerful statement of love and acceptance. It shows that even though the singer cannot control their partner's actions or feelings, they are willing to accept them for who they are and will still love them no matter what. The repeated phrase "believe me" adds a sense of desperation to the song, as if the singer is pleading with their partner to understand and believe that their love is true and genuine.
Overall, "You Say" is a poignant and emotional track that captures the pain of a breakup and the enduring power of love. It is a song that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the heartache of a failed relationship but remains hopeful and committed to finding their way back to love.

It's sad that such a great song is featured only once on a show with 154 episodes.
