Say
Ruel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can't come back tomorrow
I lost my words over you, and I'm sorry
Am I supposed to act worried?
I didn't mean to be cold, guess it's just a sore throat
We stopped talkin'
The conversation was fadin'
I called you up to tell you I'm changin'
You can be hard to pin down
I can pull up and turn around
I always leave my phone on
Fallin' asleep, we don't talk
Everything's crashin' you stay
I couldn't keep my head away
You say my jeans don't fit right
You say you're leavin', so I might say it over
If you can't come back tomorrow (if you can't come back, if you can't come back)
I lost my words over you, and I'm sorry
Am I supposed to act worried?
I didn't mean to be cold, guess it's just a sore throat
We're lookin' for the same things at different times
The same pace, same minds
To get a grip on what we find together
But I know it's not easy, to let go of the chapter we started (oh, hey, yeah)
You can be hard to pin down
I can pull up and turn around
I always leave my phone on
Fallin' asleep, we don't talk
When everything's crashin' you stay
I couldn't keep my head away
You say my jeans don't fit right
You say you're leavin', so am I
Say it over (over, over)
Yeah, if you can't come back tomorrow (if you can't come back, if you can't come back)
I lost my words over you, and I'm sorry
Am I supposed to act worried?
I didn't mean to be cold, guess it's just a sore throat
To be honest, I lost myself, I feel awful
Know we all got our problems, I'm sorry if I said you were gorgeous

Lyrics:
"I've been feelin' like it's impossible to say, you know
And I'm losing all control
Cause I wish that I could break the fall and save it all
But I've been holding it too close
Wish I knew what you're thinking
Words don't come that easy
We might be broken by design
I can't help how I'm feeling
Scared of my own reasons
I don't wanna waste your time
Searching for another way, another way, another way
To keep us safe another day, another day, another day
It's easier to run away, run away, run away
Than to know what to say, say, say
Than to know what to say
I just lie awake and play it out in my head
Like I know what to do
But the world has got a different plan for me and you
And it hurts when it's true
I don't know what you're thinking
Words don't come that easy
We might be broken by design
I can't help how I'm feeling
Scared of my own reasons
I don't wanna waste your time
Searching for another way, another way, another way
To keep us safe another day, another day, another day
It's easier to run away, run away, run away
Than to know what to say, say, say
(Say, say, say)x2
Searching for another way, another way, another way
To keep us safe another day, another day, another day
It's easier to run away, run away, run away
Than to know what to say, say, say
Than to know what to say, say, say
To know what to say, say, say"
Ps:
I wanna cry ; ;
