What Can I Say

This is brilliantly simple song of someone who is just alone and doesn't quite know what do do with her loneliness. Other than that "Oh, Lord, what can I say?" :)

I think the lyrics are wrong in this song. It's not "trap all my troubles away", its "try and burn my troubles away". I'm not usually into this kind of music but I really like this song. It's easy to sing and sounds really pretty.

my fave part of the song: "How many rules can I break? How many lies can I make? How many roads must I turn To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned?"

I think that everyone can relate to it at some point. it's true - what must I do to find a place where the bridge hasn't burned, where something will still go very right for me?

fantastic song.

This song is about the person she loved left her and she is lonely and doesn't know what to do with her life and how to sew up that gaping hole in her life. "To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned" really means she has tried to move on and her oppertunities just keep closing on her. "It feels like there is something missing inside" Also means she has tried and tried with different people but it just never feels right for her. This is exactly whats happening to me... My baby is gone and i cant patch the hole in my life or my heart :(

I love all the emotion and strain she has in her voice as she sings "how many rules can I break? oh how many lives can I make?" It's so powerful.

I literally had a time in my life where'd I'd listen to this song over and over again, it applied to me soo soo much. This song is literally about feeling so alone in the world and having no one to turn to, you feel as if everyone has given up on you even god. Even though you try so hard it always ends up wrong and your left alone.

Though I think the other comments have truth about the loneliness, maybe this is just how I see it because it’s something I face as I struggle with bipolar, but I believe she is implying that either she or whoever’s perspective she’s singing from struggles with emotional regulation and uses vices to drown the pain of her self inflicted loneliness, the guilt of her volatile behavior, and the feeling that she will always ruin the relationships that mean the most to her because mental illness will often make you feel like there is something missing inside. Again, just a personal perspective.
