Say Something
Zhavia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be the way if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Won't you say something? I'm giving up on you
And I'm feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye, oh yeah yeah
Say something, I'm giving up on you (oh)
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you (oh)
Say something, I'm giving up on you (oh)
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would've followed you, mmm
Won't you, say something I'm giving up on you
The song "Say Something" by Zhavia Ward is a heartbreaking ballad about a person giving up on a relationship. The first line, "Say something, I'm giving up on you," sets the tone for the entire song, as the singer is pleading for their partner to speak up and tell them if there is any hope left for the relationship. The second line, "I'll be the way if you want me to," shows the desperation and willingness to do anything to save the relationship. The singer then goes on to say that they would have followed their partner anywhere but is now giving up on them.
The chorus repeats the plea for their partner to say something and not just let the relationship fall apart. The line "And I'm feeling so small, it was over my head, I know nothing at all" expresses the vulnerability and confusion the singer is feeling as their partner remains silent. They admit that they are still learning to love and stumble and fall along the way.
The second verse is more straightforward, with the singer admitting that they will swallow their pride and saying goodbye to the one they love. The song ends with the singer again pleading for their partner to say something before giving up on the relationship altogether.

Most of the vocal contestants who don't win on these shows, end up work more opportunities, and go further than the winners. Zhavia has already shown her talents have opened more doors!!! I love this cover.
