Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Biting my tongue, when you're wrong, now without a fight no this ain’t right
PRE
If I don’t speak on us
It won’t get no better
You say there’s no one else
Maybe it’s for good measure
I’m known to make assumptions
But I can’t ignore my intuition
I gotta
Say, ‘cause I’m lost under the water
Can't hold my breathe
Can’t hold it
Say, ‘cause it’s only getting harder
I need it off my chest
I gotta, I gotta
I wonder why
Under the light
You tend to look away
You can't hide
What your eyes
Keep on telling me yea
You know dat you wrong admit it
Air it on out, no secrets
So we can move on
If I don't speak on us
It won't get no better
You say there’s no one else
Maybe it's for good measure
Yeah, you show me love
I'm known to make assumptions
But I can’t ignore my intuition
I gotta
Say, 'cause I’m lost under the water
Can't hold my breathe
Can’t hold it
Say, ‘cause it’s only getting harder
I need it off my chest
I gotta, I gotta
I'm gonna say what I have to say
Moving on to better days
No matter what the truth is
I'm gonna say what I have to say
Even if we part ways
I still gotta say it
Wait, say, tell me straight
Don't play no games
Don't wait, say, tell me straight
Don't play no games
In "Say" by Tea G, the lyrics explore the theme of communication and the importance of speaking up for oneself in a relationship. The singer expresses their frustration with their partner's repeated lies, suggesting that they have been keeping quiet about it for too long. They have reached a breaking point and realize that remaining silent is not the right approach.
The pre-chorus highlights the internal struggle between wanting to believe that their partner is faithful and their intuition telling them otherwise. Despite the love shown by their partner, the singer acknowledges their tendency to make assumptions and realizes that they cannot ignore their gut feelings any longer.
The chorus emphasizes the need to express their feelings and concerns. The imagery of being lost underwater and unable to hold their breath represents the suffocation and suffocating feeling of not being able to speak up. They express their desire to take the weight off their chest and address the issues in order to find resolution.
The second verse reinforces the singer's observations of their partner's avoidance and inability to meet their gaze. The line "You know dat you wrong admit it" implies that the partner is aware of their mistakes but is reluctant to admit them. The singer encourages them to open up, air out any secrets, and move forward in their relationship.
In the bridge, the singer asserts their resolve to speak their truth, regardless of the outcome. They are ready to move on to better days and express themselves, even if it means parting ways with their partner. They urge their partner to be honest and straightforward, without playing games or prolonging the conversation.
