Say You Will
Souther J.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She breaks down (breaks down)
Crying over something and starin' into nothin'
Afraid now (hate now)
Wanting, needing, haunting, it's killing me
Faking what has happened to live the life like that man
I'll break down, It's fake now
So will you, will you stay with me today?
Fade in and out of reason to fight the way she's feelin'
She breaks down (breaks down)
Going through the motions and holding onto hopes
And her dreams now (somehow)
Shaken (shaken), mistaken (mistaken), forsaken (forsaken), it's killing me
Wishing you could change, but he's always been this way
If you leave now, I'll drown
Will you, will you love me tomorrow?
So will you, will you stay with me today?
Will you, will you be here tomorrow?
So will you, you remember yesterday?
Yesterday! Yesterday!
Yesterday! Yesterday!
This time, I'm sorry
This time, I'm sorry
This time, this time, I'm sorry for this time
This time, this time, I'm sorry
This time I'm sorry!
Will you, will you love me tomorrow?
So will you, will you stay with me today?
Will you, will you be here tomorrow?
So will you, you remember yesterday?
Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you?
So will you?
Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you? Will you?
The lyrics of "Say You Will" by Southern J.D. describe the emotional turmoil experienced by a woman who is trapped in a relationship with a man who mistreats her. She is crying and staring into nothingness, consumed by fear and despair. The singer is haunted by her pain and faking what has happened to live her life like that man. He is struggling with the situation and will break down, as it all feels fake now.
The chorus asks if the woman will love him tomorrow and if she will stay with him today. The song talks about how the woman fades in and out of reason, fights her feelings, and goes through the motions while holding onto hopes and dreams. She is shaken, mistaken, and forsaken, and the situation is killing the singer. The woman wishes that things would change, but the man has always been this way. If she leaves now, the singer will drown. The chorus repeats towards the end of the song.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and desperation. The woman wants to be loved and treated with kindness, but the man's mistreatment only pushes her further away. The singer pleads for her to stay, even though he knows that things will not change. The tragedy of the situation is palpable.
