Story Behind The Song
Mid tempo groove sounding song. This song sings the voice of anyone who is discovering their relationship is deteriorating due to the actions of the other person, and that voice is "Say It Ain't So". It is clear that the narrator's girlfriend controls the relationship as she is the one who broke the relationship off. In the first verse the narrator describes how his girlfriend too easily, without feeling broke up with him. He was blindsided and was left in a state of shock. In the second verse he speaks about trying to reconcile whatever was bothering her even though he is completely baffled that there was even a problem. He assumed that she had been sad with their relationship. During the bridge the narrator states that he wants to talk with her to try and work it out, but by her reaction it is clear that she has no desire to fix things. In the third verse the narrator notices that she is not affected by the breakup, she is laughing and having fun with all of her friends as the narrator idly stands by asking over and over throughout the entire song, "Say It Ain't So".

Lyrics
----------------------
Verse 1
----------------------
When you turned and walked away
I believed you were kidding me
Never thinking you would play
That old card "your gone I'm free"
----------------------
Chorus
----------------------
Say it ain't
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
----------------------
Verse 2
----------------------
I had thought we could reconcile
What was really troubling you
I did not know all the while
Just how much you were feeling blue
----------------------
Chorus
----------------------
Say it ain't
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
----------------------
Bridge
----------------------
Well I know
What I want to say
But it's clear
You don't want to hear
The only voice
I am left with is
Please Please Please
Say it ain't so
----------------------
Verse 3
----------------------
I still see you everyday
You're always laughing with your friends
I'm wondering if asked you would say
When with me you would pretend
----------------------
Chorus
----------------------
Say it ain't
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
