Discover the story of the song > Say You Know – Alina Baraz

In these lyrics, the protagonist is reminiscing about a past romantic relationship. She remembers how her partner used to tell her that she was important to him and that he needed her. But now, it seems like he has forgotten what their relationship meant. They used to live together and she even met his mom and got a dog together. But now, their communication has become cold and distant. She wants to talk things out and fix their problems, but it seems like he doesn't care anymore. Despite this, she still wants him to acknowledge that he knows her and what they had together. She knows what their relationship is and wants to miss it, even if it wasn't perfect. She wants him to say that he knows her.
