Say Something
Max Schneider and Victoria Justice (Cover) 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'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 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
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
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you





Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something

Cause Ariana has a weird role which makes her keeping in mind even if the show is shit or not. Also she is singing great and still worked along with Nickelodeon.

Victoria has such a strong voice..I still wonder why she is not a world wide singer

CazAttack4Ever

Ikr!!! She should do more concerts!

Robert Sax

Because there are easily 10,000 REALLY great unknown singers out there for every one you know about. Competition in the "great female vocalist" market it beyond insane. Not to take anything away from her but there are thousands that are that talented. Max is a much rarer breed and the competition there is still insane. But I really enjoyed this vid. They sound amazing together. I wish them all the success they can find.
