Say Nothing
Naomi Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many things I'd like to say to you
But where's my courage gone? Where's it gone?
Did I leave it with my thoughts at home?
And I know it's stupid, but I can't play Cupid
I'll just wait another day
Next time I'll do better, promise I'll do better
And I can't find the words to say
So I will say nothing, say nothing at all
And it's hard when you're there, and I try
But I still just say nothing, say nothing at all
Scared I got it wrong, scared it's not true
Scared that you don't feel the same way as I do
If it wasn't for my pride, I'd probably jump right into you
And swim deep in your ocean
And I know it's stupid, but I can't play Cupid
I'll wait another day
Next time I'll do better, I promise, I gotta do better
I'll say it and I'll mean it this time
And I can't find the words to say
So I will say nothing, say nothing at all
And it's hard when you're there, and I try
But I still just say nothing, say nothing at all
Time waste, slow pace
Why can't I let go?
Naomi Scott's song, Say Nothing, is about unrequited love and the regrets that come with not expressing one's feelings. The song starts with the singer and the person she is smitten with staring at each other, but she is unable to find the courage to express her thoughts to the person. She laments the loss of her courage and wonders if she left it at home with her thoughts. The singer thinks that it is silly not to express her love for the person, but she cannot play Cupid. So, she decides to wait another day, promising to do better and to mean it that time.
The singer is hesitant to express her feelings because she is scared of being wrong or not having the same feelings reciprocated. She wants to jump right into the person's arms and swim deep in their ocean, but her pride holds her back. She realizes that her fear is causing her to waste time and move at a slow pace in life. In the end, the singer can't find the words to say, so she decides to say nothing, hoping that the person will somehow intuit how she feels.

I'm staring at you, you're staring at me
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me
So many things I'd like to say to you
I have many things I want to tell you
But where's my courage gone? Where's it gone?
But where did my bravery disappear? Where did it go?
Did I leave it with my thoughts at home?
Perhaps I left it with my thoughts at home?
And I know it's stupid, but I can't play Cupid
And I know it's silly, but I can't play matchmaker
I'll just wait another day
I'll just wait for another day
Next time I'll do better, promise I'll do better
I will do better next time, I promise I will
I say it every time
I say it every single time
And I can't find the words to say
But I can't find the words to utter
So I will say nothing, say nothing at all
So I will choose to remain quiet, completely silent
And it's hard when you're there, and I try
It's challenging when you're with me, and I'm attempting
But I still just say nothing, say nothing at all
However, I still choose to say nothing, stay entirely silent
Scared I got it wrong, scared it's not true
Afraid that I'm mistaken, terrified it's not genuine
Scared that you don't feel the same way as I do
Terrified that you don't feel likewise as me
If it wasn't for my pride, I'd probably jump right into you
If it wasn't for my ego, I might have leaped into you
And swim deep in your ocean
And immerse myself into your soul
I'll say it and I'll mean it this time
I'll express it and imply it myself this time
Time waste, slow pace
I'm wasting time going at a slow speed
Why can't I let go?
Why am I not able to detach from you?

My fav song SPEECHLESS
Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying I
Won't be silenced
Though you want to see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
