A Great Big World
No Words
[A Great Big World]
Say something I’m giving up on you
[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
Will I make it? I’m not sure
Am I breaking? I’m so sure
I never felt this insecure
Six more months and I’ll finally know
Was it worth it? At all?
This music. My songs
My vision was so strong
Trynna live it but I always fall
I know better, I know fear
Growing up I kept it near
Taught me faith when I couldn’t feel
I owe it to myself that I learned to steer
My own heart, my own road
A lonely time when I learned to grow
I let go of her, let go of my peers
Social skills going down the drain
And I know, what pain feels like
When you lose the hope, lose the drive
Your own ropes to your mind
Without an ego, stripped of pride
[Hook: A Great Big World]
And I will stumble and fall
I’m still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
And I will swallow my pride
Say something, I’m giving up on you
[Verse Two: G, The Wiz]
You might never hear from me again
This may be the last song I ever record
On my own, from inside my room
In this house now I gotta move
Since production I’ve been packing
Spoke to moms about my future planning
She smiled back and said keep on going
Told me a story and I’ve kept it near
There once was a boy who had a dream
He said I’ll put the sea inside this bucket
Mom looked at him said don’t be stupid
It’s impossible, it’s a great big world
You wouldn’t make it past the ocean shore
He said I’ll do it and I’ll get it for sure
Next day he went to pursue his goal
Walk half way and dipped his bucket
The tide was harsh and he let it go
A local nearby saw him laughing, dancing
He said why’d you do that, have you lost it kid?
He said I didn’t lose it, I just got it
The size of dream is not what matters
It’s all about how you get it
Being happy, Feeling pure
Never lose that
It’s all yours
[Hook: A Great Big World]
And I will stumble and fall
I’m still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
And I will swallow my pride
Say something, I’m giving up on you
Say something
