​say it over Lyrics

[Chorus: Ruel]
Say it over
If you can't come back tomorrow
I lost my words over you, and I'm sorry
Am I supposed to act worried?
I didn't mean to be cold, guess it's just a sore throat

[Verse 1: Ruel]
We stopped talkin'
The conversation was fadin'
The TV's off, got no coffee
I called you up to tell you I'm changin'

[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
You can be hard to pin down
I can pull up and turn around
I always leave my phone on
Fallin' asleep, we don't talk
When everything is crashin', you stay
I couldn't keep my head away
You say my jeans don't fit right
You say you're leavin', so am I

[Chorus: Ruel]
Say it over (Over, over)
If you can't come back tomorrow
(If you can't come back, if you can't come back)
I lost my words over you, and I'm sorry
Am I supposed to act worried?
I didn't mean to be cold, guess it's just a sore throat
[Verse 2: Cautious Clay]
We're lookin' for the same things at different times
The same pace, same minds
To get a grip on what we find together
But I know it's not easy
To let go of the chapter we started (Oh, hey, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Ruel]
You can be hard to pin down
I can pull up and turn around
I always leave my phone on
Fallin' asleep, we don't talk
When everything is crashin', you stay
I couldn't keep my head away
You say my jeans don't fit right
You say you're leavin', so am I

[Chorus: Ruel]
Say it over, yeah (Over and over)
If you can't come back tomorrow
(If you can't come back, if you can't come back)
I lost my words over you, and I'm sorry
Am I supposed to act worried?
I didn't mean to be cold, guess it's just a sore throat

[Outro: Ruel]
To be honest
I lost myself, I feel awful
Know we all got our problems
I'm sorry if I said you were gorgeous

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Ruel say about "​say it over"?
Genius Answer

I wrote it in Paris with Sarah Aarons. […] and I kept hearing his voice on the song, I kept hearing his tone, and I asked him and he said yes. And I’ve met him a few times, so there’s already been a relationship there, and yeah, then he came back with his verse and I was blown away. Bada bing bada boom, Ruel featuring Cautious Clay – say it over.
