Lyrics
Sometimes you write a song that you can't sing
Sometimes, a song is written, but the singer finds it difficult to perform.
Because the subject matter raises something
The song's content may bring up uncomfortable emotions or memories.
That you kept in the dark
The songwriter has kept certain things hidden or undisclosed.
Or maybe you'll sing her name
Possibly, the singer might reveal the name of someone in the song.
Maybe it doesn't really matter what you say
The specific words may not matter much; what's important is that they've been expressed.
Because you've said it
Despite saying it, the singer may choose not to sing it out loud.
So you can't sing it out loud
Some things are better left unspoken or only expressed in music.
If it needs to be said then say it
If something needs to be said, the singer encourages expressing it verbally.
If it needs to be sung don't hesitate
If it's suitable for singing, don't hesitate to do so.
But if you wrote it and now you regret it
If regret arises after writing a song, just hum the melody.
Just hum the tune
Humming the tune is a way to handle regret in expressing certain things.
Na na, na na, na na na
Instrumental or nonspecific vocal sounds representing humming.
Na na, na na, na na na
-This is is a song for the ones who feel betrayed
The song is dedicated to those who feel betrayed but aren't ready to lose a friend.
But not enough to lose a friend
It's a tribute to individuals with hidden pasts but still value friendship.
A song for the ones with a hidden past
The focus is on those who kept their secrets in the dark for too long.
Who kept it in the dark too long
People with hidden pasts who need to address their secrets.
This song's about the girl who doesn't
The song reflects on a girl unaware of a boy's love for her.
Know that he's in love with her
It also touches on a boy unaware of a girl's feelings for him.
And the boy who doesn't know she loves him too
The importance of expressing feelings is emphasized.
So if it needs to be said then say it
Reiterates the importance of speaking up when necessary.
If it needs to be sung don't hesitate
If suitable for a song, it should be sung without hesitation.
But if you wrote it and now you regret it
If regret arises post-writing, humming the tune is suggested.
Just hum the tune
Repetition of nonspecific vocal sounds representing humming.
Na na, na na, na na na
-Na na, na na, na na na
Repetition of the idea: speak or sing without hesitation, or hum the tune if regretful.
If it needs to be said then say it
-If it needs to be sung don't hesitate
Emphasizes the importance of expressing oneself without hesitation.
But if you wrote it and now you regret it
If regret arises post-writing, the suggestion is to hum the tune.
Just hum the tune
Encouragement to hum the tune as a way of dealing with regret in songwriting.
Hum the tune
-Na na, na na, na na na
-Na na, na na, na na na
Repetition of nonspecific vocal sounds representing humming, concluding the song.
