Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ill be the one if you want me to
Anywhere i would have followed you
Say something im giving up on you
And i am feeling so small
It was over my head
I now nothing at all
And i will stumble and fall
Im still learning to love
Just staring to crawl
Say something im giving up on you
Im sorry that i couldnt get to you
Anywhere i would have followed you
Say something im giving up on you
And i will swallow my pride
Your the one that i love
And im saying goodbye
Say something im giving up on you
And im sorry that i couldnt get to you
Anywhere i would have followed you
Oh-oh-oh
Say something im giving up on you
Say something im giving up on you
Say something...
