Say It Right Lyrics

Cover art for Say It Right lyrics by Nelly Furtado

they have broken up. not on good terms. she doesn't know what went wrong and she want's him to tell her, to "say it right." she tells herself he doesn't mean anything to her, but she can't let it go, until she hears it right, and get's closure.... to set her free. and if he doesn't "say it right" she thinks there might still be a chance because she still loves him.

I think your interpretation 9f this song is spot on. The other interpretations are good and could also be accurate, just depends on the persons place in life at the time of interpretation but Nelly wants him to say it right so she can move on.
