Say You Will
Pete Lesperance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Within my mind I still can feel your skin
Those memories seem so faint so thin
You don't believe
You close the door and never took the time
You never once could let me in
All the time
Torn apart too far to see my way
I can't live without you mine
Say you will
Say you will
Shine on me for one more day
Say you will
Just say you will
Love what you betray
It's all a lie
We shouldn't be ashamed to live out loud
To suffocate in doubt
You have to set me free
It's you I can't escape the things you did to me
It's all that I can see
All the time
All the pain
Torn apart too far to see my way
I can't live without you mine
Say you will
Say you will
Shine on me for one more day
Say you will
Just say you will
Love what you betray
Just say you will
Say you will
Shine on me for one more day
Say you will
Just say you will
Say you will
Is it me
Is it me
Am I not what you expected me to be
Did I fall
Lose it all
Did you think I'd let you do that to me
You can try
You can cry
But it won't erase what has happened to me
I can't live
I can't give
I can't say I will I will I will
I will
The lyrics to Pete Lesperance's song Say You Will depict a relationship between two individuals that has ended and the singer is struggling to come to terms with the aftermath. The opening line of "My eyes are closed" suggests a sense of escape and reflection within his own thoughts. The lyrics showcase the singer's desperation and longing to be back with his partner, expressing that he still remembers the touch of her skin and how she has shut him out and refused to let him in. The line "All the time, all the pain, torn apart too far to see my way" highlights the singer's anguish and how he is lost without his partner.
The chorus of the song is where the title comes into play, with the singer pleading for his partner to say she will give him one more chance, even if all she is offering is false hope. He acknowledges that she has betrayed him but, in his desperation for the relationship, he is willing to overlook it if only she will love him again. "Just say you will, love what you betray" showcases the singer's conflicted feelings towards his past relationship and how he is stuck between moving on and holding onto what was lost.
Overall, the song is a heartrending story of love, loss and desperation for one more chance with the one that got away. It encapsulates the pain of moving on and the hope for a reconciliation while accepting the mistakes made in the past.

My eyes are closed
Even with my eyes closed, I can still remember what it felt like when we were together
Within my mind I still can feel your skin
I can still feel you close to me in my thoughts
Those memories seem so faint so thin
The memories of us are starting to fade away and become less vibrant
You don't believe
You don't believe in the love that we shared
You close the door and never took the time
You shut me out without ever giving me a chance to explain or understand
You never once could let me in
You never gave me the opportunity to show you how much I love you
All the time
I spent all my time focused on you
All the pain
All the hurt and suffering caused by your actions
Torn apart too far to see my way
Our relationship has been destroyed and I can't see how to fix it
I can't live without you mine
I can't imagine living my life without you by my side
Say you will
Please tell me that you will give us another chance
Shine on me for one more day
Even if it's just for one more day, I want to feel the warmth of your love again
Just say you will
Just tell me that you're willing to try again
Love what you betray
You betrayed our love, but I still love you despite that
It's all a lie
Everything we had was a sham
We shouldn't be ashamed to live out loud
We shouldn't have to hide our love or be ashamed of it
To suffocate in doubt
We're suffocating in our doubt and fear of what might happen if we try again
You have to set me free
You need to let me go if you really don't want to be with me
It's you I can't escape the things you did to me
I can't let go of the hurt and betrayal you caused me
It's all that I can see
My pain and sorrow from what happened is overwhelming and all-consuming
Is it me
Do you blame me for what happened?
Am I not what you expected me to be
Did I disappoint you or not live up to your expectations?
Did I fall
Did I fail in some way?
Lose it all
Did I lose everything because of my mistakes?
Did you think I'd let you do that to me
Did you think I would just let you hurt me and betray me without reacting?
You can try
You can try to make things better
You can cry
You can show your emotions and try to make amends
But it won't erase what has happened to me
Apologies and tears won't make the pain and betrayal I feel go away
I can't live
I can't go on living like this
I can't give
I can't give you another chance if you're not willing to work on our relationship
I can't say I will I will I will
I can't promise to keep trying if you're not willing to do the same
