“Say Nothing” is the first single and second track on Naomi Scott’s debut EP, Invisible Division.
The song sees the singer wanting to pour her heart out to a lover, but she doesn’t have the guts to do it.
[Verse 1]
I'm staring at you, you're staring at me
So many things I'd like to say to you
But where's my courage gone, where's it gone?
Did I leave it with my thoughts at home?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I know it's stupid, but I can't play cupid
I'll just wait another day
Next time I'll do better, promise I'll do better
I say it every time
[Chorus]
And I can't find the words to say
So I will say nothing, say nothing at all
And it's hard when you're there, and I try
But I still just say nothing, say nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Scared I got it wrong, scared it's not true
Scared that you don't feel the same way as I do
If it wasn't for my pride, I'd probably jump right into you
And swim deep in your ocean
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I know it's stupid, but I can't play cupid
I'll wait another day
Next time I'll do better, I promise I gotta do better
I'll say it and I'll mean it this time
[Chorus]
And I can't find the words to say
So I will say nothing, say nothing at all
And it's hard when you're there, and I try
But I still just say nothing, say nothing at all
[Bridge]
Time waste, slow pace
Why can't I let go?
Time waste, slow pace
Why can't I let go?
Time waste, slow pace
Why can't I let go?
Time waste, slow pace
Why can't, why can't I let go?
[Chorus]
And I can't find the words to say
So I will say nothing, say nothing at all
And it's hard when you're there, and I try
But I still just say nothing, say nothing at all
[Outro]
