Lyrics

YOU SAY - I SAY
(Love Found, Love Lost)
The song is about: "You say stay / I say forever. Love found us / life changed us / time couldn't keep us together.—where longing, vulnerability, love found, and inevitable loss coexist. True love can be deeply romantic, nostalgic, bittersweet, and emotionally devastating. YOU SAY / I SAY is a timeless duet that captures the beautiful journey of two hearts who find in each other everything they never knew they were missing—only to discover that even the deepest love can be tested by time, circumstance, and the quiet spaces between words. As the story progresses, love's certainty gives way to vulnerability. The bittersweet reality is that some loves never truly leave us, even when life takes us in different directions. It is a song about love found, love lost, and the memories that remain forever etched upon the heart. Anyone who has ever fallen deeply in love, made promises beneath the stars, watched a relationship change, or carried a former love in their heart will recognize themselves within its lyrics. The song speaks to the dreamers, the romantics, and those who still believe that some connections transcend distance, time, and even goodbye. You Say / I Say is both uplifting and heartbreaking, The song is a reminder that while love may change its form, the people who touch our hearts most deeply never truly leave us."
