Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got
When you love someone so much
That it hurts you
And every second you′re apart
And just don't feel the same
I'm not the same
Situations killin′ me, killin′me
Cause I try to take you where I am
Tell me, can you hear
When I'm calling you
Cause I ain′t giving nothing back
I've been living on the edge
I′m hanging by a threat
And I just don't know what to do
So won′t you say something now
Say something loud
(You've got, You've got)
Won′t you say something now
Say something loud
(You′ve got, yeah, you've got)
If you tell me that I′m busy
When you love someone so much
That it hurts you
And every second you're apart
And just don′t feel the same
I'm not the same
Without you
Situations killin′ me, killin' me
Cause I try to take you where I am
Tell me, can you hear
When I'm calling you
Cause I ain′t giving nothing back
I′ve been living on the edge
I'm hanging by a threat
And I just don′t know what to do
So won't you say something now
Say something loud
(You′ve got, You've got)
Won′t you say something now
Say something loud
(You've got, you've got)
(You′ve got)
(You′ve got)
When you love someone so much
That it hurts you
And every second you're apart
And just don′t feel the same
I'm not the same
Without you
So won′t you say something now
Say something loud
(Say something, you've got,
Say something, you′ve got)
Won't you say something now
Say something loud
(Say something, you've got,
Say something, you′ve got)
