Say Something
Stillharley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sittin in the clouds with you on my brain
So say something, say something, times running out for the both of us
Another sleepless night
Looking for a sign calling out your name
So say something, say something, I'm losing faith in the both of us
Had to be a fever dream
I was holding on until you started letting go
Barely holding on until you started losing hold
Running out of energy
Moving too slow, that's what I get for getting close
I can love 'em but I sure as hell can't let 'em go
Another wasted day
Sittin in the clouds with you on my brain
So say something, say something, times running out for the both of us
Another sleepless night
Looking for a sign calling out your name
So say something, say something, I'm losing faith in the both of us
Half awake
Can't help missing better days
Off a oz of the runtz I'm in a higher place
Money started adding up but that don't mean a thing cuz
I'd give all I got to see your face
Or tell you what I did today
And only for a minute is it too much to ask for
Feeling clueless got natural
Getting used to unnatural
Wish you drank less, smoked less, left the pills at home
I was sweating bullets you were swerving on the road
Phasing in and out your head, slurring words across the phone
Never called when you got home, next thing I knew you were gone
Yeah next thing I knew you were gone
I can't do this shit again, I should have never got involved
Had to be a fever dream
Or a sick joke, that's what I get for getting close
I was holding on until you started letting go
Barely holding on until you started losing hold
I can love 'em but I sure as hell can't let 'em go
Another wasted day
Sittin in the clouds with you on my brain
So say something, say something, times running out for the both of us
Another sleepless night
Looking for a sign calling out your name
So say something, say something, I'm losing faith in the both of us

You never bothered to check in after arriving home, and suddenly, without warning, you disappeared from my life.
Yeah next thing I knew you were gone
Suddenly, abruptly, you vanished from my life.
I can't do this shit again, I should have never got involved
I cannot endure this pain and heartbreak once more, and I regret ever becoming emotionally invested in this relationship.
Say something
Please speak up and communicate with me.
Say something
I'm pleading for you to say anything, to break the silence.
