Met on my front porch swing
When we were still kids
Who knew that playing cars
And chasing frogs would lead to this.
Came to share everything
Sunkissed afternoons
Our nights were spent dreaming
Just us beneath a harvest moon
Then he said
Say something
I don’t care what it is
Tell me anything to make
This moment stay
Words I feel but can’t say
Are strong in your kiss
Say something
The evening’s almost gone
And I can’t face this world alone
I need your love to go on
Say something.
And down the road in college
She took his last name
With the church bells chiming
They swore their love would stay the same.
And they shared everything
From smiles to the rent
And those quiet nights stolen
Were far too precious to forget
But after school was over
Something went and changed
She tried to fight the feeling but
That feeling, damn, it stayed the same.
And somewhere through the years
Something disappeared
She tried to recollect
What got lost
Between the laughter and the tears
And he said
Say something
I don’t care what it is
Tell me anything to take
The heartbreak away
Take the words we won’t say
Out of your kiss
Say something
We’re barely holding on
And I can’t face this world alone
Or that our love is gone
Say something.
And there’s so much shame
When no one’s left to blame
And the pain inside will
Eat you alive
As your conscience screams his name
And as he packed his suitcase
She stood standing by
And hard as she tried
She just couldn't cry
With all the years behind them
You'd think the tears'd just come
But she was just too tired
And she was just too done
He headed for the doorway
Head hung low with grief
And in the final hour
He offered one last plea
He said
Say something
I don’t care what it is
Tell me anything to take
The heartbreak away
Must be words we could say
Must be time for a kiss
Say something
I'm still holding on
Cause I can’t face this world alone
Or that our love is gone
Say something.
