The third single from Cody Fry’s 2023 album The End, “The Things You Said” tells a story of two lovers, haunted by the memories of each other and their own regrets. Unlike the two grand, fully-orchestrated singles which came before it, “Things You Said” uses a minimalist, tightly-voiced string style...
[Verse 1: Cody Fry]
I was walking in the woods one day
Tryin' to keep the ghosts at bay
Then I thought I saw your face
But it was just leaves
I see you in the strangest things
Your voice in every bird that sings
Can they hear it echoing
Or is that just me?
[Chorus: Cody Fry]
I don't believe in haunted houses
But I still see you there on the bed
You didn't leave me much but things you said
They stayed, they stayed
[Verse 2: Abby Cates]
I was driving through the streets one night
At the corner with the bar you liked
I thought I saw the car you drive
But it wasn't green
These neighborhoods all look the same
That's why you had to move away
When people ask that's what I say
But they know I'm lying
[Chorus: Abby Cates]
I don't know who lives inside these houses
But you still live inside of my head
You didn't leave me much but things you said
They stayed, they stayed
[Bridge: Cody Fry & Abby Cates]
I still see you
You still see me
We don't see each other anymore
I still love you
You still love me
We can't love each other anymore
Can we?
[Chorus: Cody Fry, Abby Cates,Cody Fry & Abby Cates]
I don't believe in haunted houses
But I still see you there on the bed
I wish I hadn't said all the things I said
