“If You Say So” by Lea Michele (2014)
As Cory Monteith’s and Lea Michele’s characters on hit show Glee fell for each other, real life mirrored the onscreen romance. Fans loved the fact that they were in a relationship and kept up-to-date with their romance both on the screen and behind it. However, in 2013, Monteith tragically died after overdosing on drugs. During that time, Michele’s first album, Louder was in the works. While dealing with the crippling heartbreak, she penned a song called “If You Say So” about Monteith. “It’s about my last conversation that I had with him,” explained Michele. She sings, “It’s been seven whole days/ Seven whole days since you paralyzed me/ And I can’t get the last words that you said/ Can’t get those words out of my head.” She proceeds to sing with all her heart, “Was just a week ago, you said, ‘I love you, girl’/ I said, ‘I love you more’/ And a breath, a pause/ You said, If you say so.'” Those were his last words to her, “If you say so.”
