Don't Say
Muscadine Bloodline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you can say we can agree to disagree on the little things
You can say what I don′t wanna hear when I'm wrong
You can say you′re right every little fight
Tell your friends like we're tallying up the score
You can say what you want, just as long as I'm yours

But don′t say I ain′t what you need
Don't say we ain′t playing for keeps
Don't say forever unless you′re saving it for me
Don't say we ain′t meant to be

You can say something negative promise I'll brush it off
You can say something knowing you're crossing the line
You could say something petty when you feel some type of way
It′s just one of those days you could say
You′re sorry you know that I'm gonna forgive you each time

But don′t say I ain't what you need
Don′t say we ain't playing for keeps
Don′t say forever unless you're saving it for me
Don't say we ain′t meant to be

But don′t say I ain't what you need
Don′t say we ain't playing for keeps
Don′t say forever unless you're saving it for me




Don′t say we ain't meant to be
No, don't say we ain′t meant to be

Overall Meaning

However, the chorus emphasizes the need for honesty and transparency, urging their partner not to make false promises or express doubts about their future together.


The second verse of the song reinforces the theme of forgiveness and moving forward despite disagreements. The singer states that they will brush off negative comments or petty arguments, but warns their partner not to cross the line and say something hurtful. The repetition of the refrain "Don't say we ain't meant to be" at the end of each chorus highlights the singer's deep conviction that they belong together and that their love is worth fighting for.

This song hit deep. Reminds me of a love that I wanted to last. And the part where he says " don't say I ain't what you need...don't say forever unless your saving it for me" made me bust out crying. I've never had something so simple but so true hit me that hard. Beautiful music.
