SAY SOMETHING
Madilyn Bailey & RUNAGROUND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the one, if you want me too
Anywhere I would've followed you
(Aaaaah)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm, feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
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've followed you
(Aaaaah)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
I'm saying goodbye
(Ooooouoouououh)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
(Ooooouoouououh)
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say Something
The lyrics of Madilyn Bailey and RUNAGROUND's song "Say Something" express the feeling of a failed relationship, where one partner has given up and is ready to move on. The opening line "Say something, I'm giving up on you" sets the tone and clearly shows the other partner that they need to make a move, or else it will be too late. The singer explains that they would have followed their partner anywhere, but it seems they have lost their confidence and are not sure of what will happen next. The chorus is a repetition of the opening line, and the bridge is about swallowing pride and admitting that this is the end.
