Say To You lyrics:

Don't know what to say to you, yeah, yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah, yeah
Lately you been switching up, yeah, yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah, yeah
Don't know what to say to you, yeah, yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah, yeah
Lately you been switching up, yeah, yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah, yeah

How you gon' love someone else?
How'd you leave me by myself?
How'd you leave me all alone?
Yeah, you used to be my home
I can't even lie, want you by my side
Yeah, you left me empty and it's something I can't hide
Everybody knows, they say that it shows
They know that I miss you, so I wonder how you don't

I don't know what to feel anymore, what do I have to do?
I hate and love the rain, but that's just how I feel 'bout you
Some days you make me feel so happy, some days I feel blue
You still remind me of the rain, that's why I fall for you

Don't know what to say to you, yeah, yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah, yeah
Lately you been switching up, yeah, yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah, yeah
Don't know what to say to you, yeah, yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah, yeah
Lately you been switching up, yeah, yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah, yeah

Trust me, what you told me and what you show me
Thought that we was homies and that you know me
Didn't think you'd play me, I thought you'd save me
Yeah, you drove me crazy, you're still my baby
After what we've been through and all the problems
I thought you would help me and we could solve 'em
Didn't think you'd play me, I thought you'd save me
Yeah, you're still my baby, you drove me crazy

Don't know what to say to you
Everything's okay to you
Lately you been switching up
I can't even trust your love, yeah, yeah

Don't know what to say to you, yeah, yeah
Everything's okay to you, yeah, yeah
Lately you been switching up, yeah, yeah
I can't even trust your love, yeah, yeah

Ali Gatie official bio:

Ali Gatie knows the way to your heart is through your ears. Over the course of 2018, the 22 year old singer-songwriter from the Toronto suburb of Mississauga self-released a string of projects that took him from square one of his career to a global fan base, racking up millions of streams of unexpected hits like the acoustic-tinged ballad “Moonlight.” In the process he revealed himself to have not only the single-minded focus and work ethic of a 21st century hustler but the heart of a classic songsmith.

Ali doesn’t shy away from writing about the big subjects that have always consumed great artists, concepts like love and devotion that many young artists these days shy away from. His sound mines the fertile area where R&B and contemporary pop overlap–although from a brighter side of the spectrum than you might associate with crooners from the 6–but it’s delivered with openness and honesty, mixing the timeless songwriting of contemporary icons like Ed Sheeran with the next-generation sounds of Post Malone, Juice Wrld, and Charlie Puth.

Some of Ali’s ability to find common ground with any listener he comes across must have something to do with how much of the world he’s seen, starting from a young age. Ali was born in Yemen to Iraqi parents, then spent part of his childhood in Dubai before his family moved to the culturally and economically diverse city of Mississauga. And certainly a lot of it comes from the way he was brought up–he credits a lot of his music-making philosophy to the traditional Arab values of hospitality and generosity that his parents raised him with.

At a time where the pop landscape seems more splintered than ever, Ali Gatie is dreaming big and making music the whole world can love.
