[Verse 1]
Hey
Hide me
Protect my name
Worried
They'll track me down up there
When will you look here
You're loss again
Don't be alone
I'm all alone
[Verse 2]
They don't love me
They don't care
And they'd kill me if they could
And save them and then save me
I can't do it by myself
I'm not scared
Their ridicule has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
[Chorus]
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something
[Verse 3]
When I drag past waking moments
You are there
When I crawl back in my room
You are there
When I walk on, saw the sides
You are there
And I never look behind
'Cause you tell me where to run
[Verse 4]
They don't love me
They don't care
And they'd kill me if they could
And save them and then save me
I can't do it by myself
I'm not scared
Their ridicule has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
[Chorus]
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something
[Verse 5]
I can't go on with this anymore
Oh and I'll love you forever, it may go yeah
When hope is rising to face it all
To save us from ourselves
So I'll be with an arsenal
[Verse 6]
Words and I will be afraid
I'll say that
Morning, I'm a be afraid
I'll say that
Morning, I'm a be afraid
I'll say that
Because you've always loved me
[Verse 7]
They don't love me
They don't care
And they'd kill me if they could
And save them and then save me
I can't do it by myself
I'm not scared
Their ridicule has now become a tool
And it makes me stronger
And it makes me stronger
And it makes me stronger
[Chorus - Outro]
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something
Yeah, Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something to keep me going
Say something, say something refresh me
Say something, say something
Yeah, yeah
