She's Not Saying Anything (at all)

I heard an instrumental the other day. It was an acoustical and instrumental version of A Great Big World's Say Something. The songwriters, Mike Campbell, Ian Axel, and Chad Vaccarino are obviously soulmates with me. They have had the same experience in life that I have, obviously. 


The lyrics aren't necessarily complex, but they are deep. They resonate with me. 

Say something, I'm giving up on you-I'll be the one, if you want me to-Anywhere, I would've followed you-Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I am feeling so small-It was over my head-I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall-I'm still learning to love-Just starting to crawl

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

And I will swallow my pride-You're the one that I love-And I'm saying goodbye

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, say something, I'm giving up on you

Say something, I'm giving up on you-Say something

It's all really painful to read and worse to hear in the song. I feel this one deeply because I feel that I've lived it so many times. The worst? The part where they sing: 

You're the one that I love-And I'm saying goodbye
