Say It’s Over
LIVING ROOM - Morcheeba Lyrics

This will not be easy to say
The singer is about to say something difficult or unpleasant.

This might be hard to hear
The listener may not want to hear what the singer has to say.

If I could do it any other way I would
The singer wishes there was an easier way to convey their message.

But I have to come clear
The artist feels it is necessary to be honest and truthful.

If I close my eyes, maybe it will all disappear
The artist is hoping their problems will go away if they ignore them.

Disappointing clouds, maybe they won't interfere
The singer is hoping that their negative feelings won't affect their situation.

All the faults and failures
The singer has made mistakes and has shortcomings.

Betray the day when the
These faults and failures make it difficult to move forward.

Cowardly excuses get in the way of wanting more
The artist has made excuses for themselves and these excuses are keeping them from achieving their goals.

Dawn of the day and we're done
The artist is acknowledging that the relationship is over.

Missing something
The singer feels like there is something missing in the relationship.

Now we can say it's over
The artist and the listener are acknowledging that the relationship is over.

Endings begin With an awful lot of maybes
The process of ending a relationship can be uncertain and full of doubts.

Let's make a start at goodbye
The singer is proposing that they start the process of saying goodbye.

You acted as you did
The listener's behavior has hurt the singer.

Like a selfish little bitch
The listener's behavior was self-centered and not considerate of the artist's feelings.

A sad ghost spilling my blood on the carpet
The artist feels like they have been hurt and left to suffer in their own emotional pain.

The more I give the less I understand Why I'm here
The singer feels like they have given a lot to the relationship but still doesn't understand why it hasn't worked out.

No great surprise
The singer is not surprised that the relationship has ended.

Words I needed to hear
The listener has said something that the artist has been wanting to hear.

With all the signs
There were many indications that the relationship was not working.

Breaking won't be severe
The process of ending the relationship will not be overly painful or difficult.

Anxious complex feelings Enter the frame as we
The process of ending the relationship brings up complicated, conflicting emotions.

Stoke the fire but can't sustain the flame
The artist has tried to make things work but has been unsuccessful in keeping the relationship going.

Gone as the days with sun
The relationship is over and in the past, like the passing of a sunny day.

Times a'wasting
The singer feels like it's time to move on and not waste any more time in the relationship.

When we're caught
When the singer and listener find themselves in a difficult situation.

Between that rock and hard place
In a situation where there are no good options or choices.

Make a start at goodbye
The artist is proposing that they start the process of saying goodbye, even though it may be difficult.
