Say
Pitty/Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forgive me forgetting
But I don't like change
Forgive me for calling
So late on your birthday
Forgive me for lying
We all make mistakes
Oh forgive me for staring
I couldn't avert my gaze
But if you're all caught up in those silly games
If your ride is on the way
I won't hold you down
But I would like you to stay
And I won't leave town until you've said what you have to say
And it's alright now babe
But you can say what you need to
Say what you need to say
Just say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Forgive me for singing
Just tryna make your day
Oh I'm biting my tongue before I let slip
Something I shouldn't say
Oh forgive me for laying
On your side of the bed
Oh forgive me for playing
That song on repeat in my head
But if you're all caught up in old Santa Fe
If your ride is on the way
I won't hold you down
But I would like you to stay
And I won't leave town until you've said what you have to say
And it's alright now babe
But you can say what you need to
Say what you need to say
Just say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Please forgive me if I crossed a line today
Oh I just wish I could have it over
Have it all over again
Have it all over again
I won't hold you down
But I would like you to stay
And I won't leave town until you've said what you have to say
And it's alright now babe




But you can say what you need to
Say what you need to say
