"Say something, I'm giving up on you"
To me, he just wants a reaction from the other person.
"I'll be the one, if you want me to"
He'll be the bad guy if that's what it takes.
"Anywhere, I would've followed you"
He loves her so much he would of done anything for her.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you"
He says this line a second time for emphasis. It seems like
she just doesn't care anymore.
"And I am feeling so small"
This could mean that his heart is broken, and it's only a
small piece of what it once was. It could also mean he's
feeling insignificant now that it's over. She was his
everything, and now that she's gone, he's left with nothing.
"It was over my head, I know nothing at all"
He reflects on just how dumb it was to give his heart to her.
Maybe he regrets loving her. Looking back, he tried
everything to keep it going and look where it got him...
"And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl"
Babies don't walk on their first try. Likewise, it's unlikely
that the person you truely and dearly love will feel the same
way about you the first time. He never got love down because
he's still missing the other part - her part - of being loved
back. He's got a lot of life lessons to learn, and just like
crawling, he's only begun to scratch the surface of what life
has waiting for him.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you"
Same lines repeated but, now he reveals that he wished he
could have made her feel the same way so that he could avoid
giving up on her.
"And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye"
This explains it clearly and to the point. He's throwing in
the towel. He's revealing his true feelings to her and laying
it all on the line. He's trying to make the situation real to
her, maybe she thinks it's a game, but he definitely means
it.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you"
Same as before.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something..."
This all comes back to the line "I'll be the one, if you want
me to" for me. Maybe she hates him for letting her go and
she's ignoring everything. She doesn't want to hear anything
and she's shutting him out. He just wants comfirmation or
something that shows she acknowledges the situation. If she
doesn't say anything, he'll truly be left with nothing. It
also might show that he's still stuck in the vicious cycle of
being afraid of letting go of the one thing he really loves
and wanting to hold on to it because maybe, maaaaaaaybe she
might let out her true feelings and the dream he's been
living in can finally become a reality.
Some of what I said above may not resonate with everyone, but
it does for me because it describes the situation I'm in
perfectly. I've loved her for years. It's hard knowing that
all the time you spent and all the feelings you had for
someone you really REALLY love could be for nothing. It's
scary to think about letting them go because it's all you
knew. I'm afraid. I just wish this would all work out...
