“Say Something”
By A Great Big World
Say something
I’m giving up on you
I’ll be the one
If you want me to
Anywhere, I would’ve followed you
Say something
I’m giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I’m still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Chorus
Say something
I’m giving up on you
And I’m sorry that
I couldn’t get to you
Anywhere, I would have followed you
Say something
I’m giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You’re the one that I love
I’m saying goodbye
(Chorus)
