You Say I by Sonia Rao

Singer Sonia Rao dropped the music video for her single “You Say I” off her upcoming “Los Angeles” album.

Believe in yourself and surround yourself with supporting people, especially in relationships. Sonia states, “the song is so close to my heart and so many of my close friends, fellow artists, and homies from The Voice are in this video.” Look for cameos from Melissa Polinar, Connie Lim, Dia Frampton, and more.

You Say I by Sonia Rao

Lyrics to You Say I by Sonia Rao

You say I don’t speak the truth

You say I don’t care for you

You say I don’t know myself like you

You say I am too afraid

To live by the words I say

That I am more ideals than action

You say I talk too loud

That I’m hiding behind sound

That the thoughts I call my own are from without

So what if it’s true

So what if it’s true

You called me ugly I believed you

You made me feel like I was beneath you

You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You say I can write my songs

I can sing them all night long

Till my face turns blue this earth still burns

You remind me of its pain

Of my indifference you’re ashamed

How I can write my silly songs and still

Look you in the eye

So what if they’re true

So what if they’re true

You called me ugly I believed you

You made me feel like I was beneath you

You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You called me empty I believed you

You made me crawl out from underneath you

You broke me down till I was nothing but air

And though I know flawed as I may be

I know it’s you, you who are unhappy

This morning while the coffee brewed

I made plans to leave you

And all at once, I felt lighter than air

Baby it’s true

Baby it’s true

You called me ugly I believed you

You made me feel like I was beneath you

You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You called me empty I believed you

You made me crawl out from underneath you

You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You broke me down till I was nothing but air

Now I feel like I am walking on air
