“Say” is the fifth track from Ruel’s debut EP, Ready. The song explores the feeling of not knowing what to say in order to effectively express your emotions to someone.
This relationship is suffering due to poor communication, where both parties are avoiding truthful conversations in order to preve...
[Verse 1]
I've been feeling like it's impossible to say it all
And I'm losing all control
'Cause I wish that I could break the fall and save it all
I've been holding it too close
[Pre-Chorus]
Wish I knew what you're thinking
Words don't come that easy
We might be broken by design
I can't help how I'm feeling
Scared of my own reasons
I don't wanna waste your time
[Chorus]
Searching for another way, another way, another way
To keep us safe another day, another day, another day
It's easier to run away, run away, run away
Than to know what to say, say, say
Than to know what to say
[Verse 2]
I just lie awake and play it out in my head
Like I know what to do
But the world has got a different plan for me and you
And it hurts when it's true
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what you're thinking
Words don't come that easy
We might be broken by design
I can't help how I'm feeling
Scared of my own reasons
I don't wanna waste your time
[Chorus]
Searching for another way, another way, another way
To keep us safe another day, another day, another day
It's easier to run away, run away, run away
Than to know what to say, say, say
[Bridge]
(Say, say, say)
(Say, say, say)
[Chorus]
Searching for another way, another way, another way
To keep us safe another day, another day, another day
It's easier to run away, run away, run away
Than to know what to say, say, say
Than to know what to say, say, say
To know what to say, say, say
