Roar Lyrics

Cover art for Roar lyrics by Katy Perry

I think the song is about getting to say I love you in person to someone who's always on the run, or tries to do everything to avoid her saying that or being emotionally involved. She didn't have the courage in the past to do that, or thought it was obvious, but her need to say it is getting stronger, because holding it back has been too painful, even if he'd probably think she didn't mean it anyway.
