Say That You Will
Love's Struggle: The Emotion-Packed Tale in 'Say That You Will'
Lyrics
Say that you won't
Suggesting a choice to either affirm or deny something
Or say that you will
Reiterating the choice and its impact
It don't mean a thing
Emphasizing insignificance, possibly of words or promises
Just go for the kill
Encouraging bold action without hesitation
Make me your slave
Expressing willingness to submit or be devoted
For all that you do
Acknowledging the impact of the other person's actions
It don't mean a thing
Reiterating the theme of actions speaking louder than words
You know that you do
Acknowledging the impact of the other person's actions
It's too late to start over
Expressing a sense of irreversibility or missed opportunity
Yeah, it's pulling me under
Feeling overwhelmed or pulled down by a situation
Never thought that I'd love her like you
Unexpectedly finding a deep love
With all that you say
Focusing on the importance of both words and actions
And all that you do
Reiterating the impact of the other person's complete behavior
The way it feels to be loved by you
Describing the emotional experience of being loved
The time that it takes
Highlighting the difficulty of overcoming obstacles in love
I can't break through
Expressing a struggle to break through emotional barriers
It's killing me to be loved by you
Feeling emotionally burdened by love
Say that you won't
Repeating the initial request for a commitment
Then say it again
Emphasizing the importance of consistency in commitments
You bend me
Describing the bending or yielding influence of the other person
You try and you break me
Referring to attempts to weaken or damage emotionally
You lied and you left me for dead
Recalling past betrayal and abandonment
Can I still count on you
Questioning the reliability of the other person
To break me down the way you've always done before
Expecting the familiar pattern of breaking down emotionally
Yeah, I want more
Expressing a desire for more from the relationship
It's too late to start over
Reiterating the theme of irreversibility or missed chances
Yeah, it's pulling me under
Feeling overwhelmed or pulled down by a situation
Never thought that I'd love her like you
Recalling the unexpected depth of love
With all that you say
Focusing on the importance of both words and actions
And all that you do
Reiterating the impact of the other person's complete behavior
The way it feels to be loved by you
Describing the emotional experience of being loved
The time that it takes
Highlighting the difficulty of overcoming obstacles in love
I can't break through
Expressing a struggle to break through emotional barriers
It's killing me to be loved by you
Feeling emotionally burdened by love
With all that you say
Reiterating the impact of the other person's complete behavior
And all that you do
Describing the emotional experience of being loved
The way it feels to be loved by you
Highlighting the difficulty of overcoming obstacles in love
The time that it takes
Expressing a struggle to break through emotional barriers
I can't break through
Feeling emotionally burdened by love
It's killing me to be loved by you
Reiterating the emotional burden of being loved
