Day, Zella - Jameson Lyrics






Words are meant to be taught
Love's not meant to be lost
You said that if I'm happy you're cured
But I'm not

I know you have a delicate fate
You're a quiet man but in the worst way
I'm not a follower and I won't follow you down

Oh Jameson, you've had your fun
Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
I promise you, I'll treat him right
Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do

I waited in the street outside
Sat in my car till my tears dried
I'm justifying people with pain
Tonight

I watched your fingers point at the blame
It's the darkest of grey when you explain
I'm not a follower and I won't follow you down

Oh Jameson, you've had your fun
Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
I promise you, I'll treat him right
Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do

I know I'll be okay
Don't tell me where or which way you go
Find someone else to take my place
You want me but treat me like you don't

Oh Jameson, you've had your fun
Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
I promise you, I'll treat him right
Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do

Day, Zella Jameson Comments
  1. E.... C....

    Brought me to tears when I realized the meaning of this song at the end. It hurts so bad because I feel every word. So hard feeling this way. So grateful got this, feels like a much better representation of how I feel rather than the anger that comes out of fear and love

  2. D.... S....

    Palavras estão destinadas a serem ensinadas
    O amor não é destinado para ser perdido
    Você diz que se eu sou feliz você está curado
    Mas eu não sou
    Eu sei que você tem um destino delicado
    Você é um homem quieto mas no pior jeito
    Eu não sou uma seguidora e eu não seguirei você

    Oh Jameson, você já se divertiu
    Pare de abraçá-lo, eu quero ser a única
    Eu te prometo você, eu o tratarei bem
    Não quero brigar, você não precisa dele como eu preciso
    Eu esperei no lado de fora da rua
    Sentei em meu carro até minhas lágrimas secaram
    Eu estou justificando pessoa com dor
    Esta noite

    Eu assisti seus dedos apontar na culpa
    É o mais escuro de cinza quando você explica
    Eu não sou uma seguidora e não seguirei você
    Oh Jameson, você já se divertiu
    Pare de abraçá-lo, eu quero ser a única
    Eu te prometo, eu o tratarei bem
    Não quero brigar, você não precisa dele como eu preciso

    Eu sei eu ficarei bem
    Não me diga onde ou que caminho você irá
    Encontrar outra pessoa para tomar o meu lugar
    Você me quer mas me trata como se não
    Oh Jameson, você já se divertiu
    Para de abraçá-lo, eu quero ser a única
    Eu te prometo, eu o tratarei bem
    Não quero brigar, você não precisa dele como eu preciso

  3. B.... L....

    Palavras são feitas para serem ensinadas O amor não é feito para ser perdido Você disse que, se eu estou feliz você está curado Mas eu não etsou Eu sei que você tem um destino delicado Você é um homem tranquilo, mas da pior maneira Eu não sou um seguidor e não vou segui-lo para baixo Oh Jameson, você teve sua diversão Pare de segurá-lo, eu quero ser o único Eu prometo a você, eu vou tratá-lo bem Não quero briga, você não precisa dele como eu preciso Esperei na rua em frente Sentei em meu carro até que as minhas lágrimas secaram estou justificando as pessoas com dor Hoje à noite Eu assisti os dedos apontarem para a culpa É mais escuro que cinza quando você explica Eu não sou um seguidor e não vou segui-lo para baixo Oh Jameson, você teve sua diversão Pare de segurá-lo, eu quero ser o único Eu prometo a você, eu vou tratá-lo bem Não quero briga, você não precisa dele como eu preciso Eu sei que vou ficar bem Não me diga onde ou qual caminho você vai encontrar alguém para tomar o meu lugar Você me quer, mas me trata como se você não quisesse Oh Jameson, você teve a sua diversão Pare de segurá-lo, eu quero ser o único Eu prometo a você, eu vou tratá-lo bem Não quero briga, você não precisa dele como eu preciso

  11. b.... ....

    I like how all your songs start out slow and meaningful and then get fast and very emotional

  12. m.... f....

    I can't believe how many people don't get that Jameson's is an alcohol. Shes singing about an alcoholic man. Shes asking Jameson's (the whisky) to leave him alone so she can be the main focus in his life. Its so obvious.

    m.... f....

    Obviously the song is about her failure to get enough pictures of Spider-Man

  13. R.... B....

    I had always thought of this song to be about her being in a love triangle with two other guys. Jameson "had his fun" but Jameson doesn't need him like she does. She and Jameson are both in love with the same guy, and it hurts her so much because the man she loves is also in love with another person, Jameson.

  14. t.... t....

    Jameson isn't just a whiskey, it's mY NAME SIDHEODJSHF

  15. E.... K....

    Story of my life. Shame I am a man.

  16. j.... b....

    I do why but every time I listen to this cry 😔

  17. B.... Z....

    I just love her, amazing always. 💜👑

  18. R.... v....

    Of course she'll use a Landy in her music video, could she be cooler...

  19. K.... C....

  20. j.... b....

    When I listen to this song, I always feel emptyness

  21. C.... M....

  22. N.... J....

    Zella gives off this vibe and something about it so perfect her voice is so smooth and so soothing and her music is something I can never get sick of listening I wish she would have a concert. I never go to concerts cuz they all suck but I feel like hers would be so magical. I love ya Zella :)

  23. M.... ....

    Can someone please name me a few songs similar to this one? , I love the guitar in the background!

  24. s.... m....

    I thought the song was about a gay guy .... but it's about whiskey 😂😂😂😂

  25. v.... q....

    this song is so beautiful I cri :(:

  26. m.... ....

    Who came here for HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPADEKINZ from Lilacpetal

  27. L.... ....

    Zella Day's an artists, Halsey is a mainstream sell out.

  28. A.... ....

    proof i was here before she becomes mainstream

  29. p.... i....

    ya know I've been trying to remember how I found Zella, and oddly enough, I found her because of a Bethany mota video. She had east of eden playing in the background, I liked the song and the artist, so I kept listening. Love u Zella.

  30. C.... ....

  31. E.... P....

  33. y.... P....

  34. I.... N....

    I cant believe how big she's getting all of her songs are so beautiful but I always find myself coming back to this one, thank you Zella for representing Arizona so well 💙

  35. A.... C....

    i saw her in concert a couple months ago, and as a long time fan of two years, nothing made me happier than to see her live :)

    A.... C....

    She is absolutely amazing live. Easily one of the best shows I have ever been to. =)

  36. I.... ....

    Great Song, love the slide guitar.

  37. W.... O....

    I would be totally okay if this song was overplayed.

    W.... O....

    Carys Dawn Gomez-Jones hypnotic would be more overplayed cuz its pop

    W.... O....

    Carys Dawn Gomez-Jones I've listen to this song everyday all day since 2015 and I never get sick of it :) I can't get sick of it. This is my favorite song

  38. j.... ....

    Her voice reminds me of a softer version of Stevie Nicks'

  39. S.... A....

    I discovered her not that long ago and took a screenshot of her at 68,000 subs so one day I can say when she's really famous so I can say I was a fan from the beginning

  45. H.... P....

    This song is about a woman dating an alcoholic right?

    H.... P....

    Or married to one, yes.

  46. D.... ....

    HELP GET THE 'HIGH' VIDEO RELEASED

    http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/release-of-zella-days-music-video-for-high

  47. E.... S....

    if only people knew how deep this song is

  48. b.... d....

    She sounds like an angel

  49. J.... ....

    I feel weird knowing that a couple of years ago I listened to death metal and hard rock and punk rock, and was usually classified as a rock metal dude in school and know that I'm in senior year all I listen to is calm and meaning to music, and I'm now considered a nice guy at school

    J.... ....

    Meaningful

  50. l.... s....

    Words are meant to be taught
    Love's not meant to be lost
    You said that if I'm happy you're cured, but I'm not

    [Verse 2]
    I know you have a delicate fate
    You're a quiet man but in the worst way
    I'm not a follower and I won't follow you down

    [Chorus]
    Oh Jameson, you've had your fun
    Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
    I promise you, I'll treat him right
    Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do

    [Verse 3]
    I waited in the street outside
    Sat in my car till my tears dried
    I'm justifying people with pain, tonight

    [Verse 4]
    I watched your fingers point at the blame
    It's the darkest of grey when you explain
    I'm not a follower and I won't follow you down

    [Chorus]

    [Bridge]
    I know I'll be okay
    Don't tell me where or which way you go
    Find someone else to take my place
    You want me but treat me like you don't

  51. p.... t....

    im in heaven

  52. _.... ....

    this song reminds me of 'Jolene' by Dolly Parton for some reason.

  53. A.... G....

    😞❤❤❤

  54. B.... S....

    *Прекрасный голос, отличный клип, так классно ❤ :3*

  55. L.... G....

    my favorite song in the album, your visuals and imagery are ALL

  56. M.... L....

    So the song is called 'Jameson,' which is obviously a name, so I just always assumed that she was addressing a person when she sang the words. Then I read somewhere that the song was actually about being in love with a self-destructive alcoholic and I remembered that Jameson is also a type of whiskey and that's when it clicked. She's not addressing a person, she's addressing the alcohol taking this person away from her. It was already one of my favorite songs and it was always very touching to me, but when I realized the words meant something entirely different than what I originally thought, that just made the song that much more beautiful to me. You really have to listen to every word. It's also a really pretty video, I think. She's one of my favorite artists by far.

    M.... L....

    It seems like she's addressing a person the way she's putting it but in reality it's got a really good meaning about alcoholism. :)

    M.... L....

    jameson is an alcohol

    M.... L....

    Either way, the cool thing about music is it can be interpreted multiple ways to bond with the listener's life. Its a really awesome thing music. It's like the universal language. Anyone can speak it.

    M.... L....

    I can't stop thinking about this and now I almost cry when I listen to this song

    M.... L....

    Thanks for the enlightenment 🧜🏻‍♂️

  57. C.... ....

    Why so few views? This deserves millions of views in my opinion!

  58. B.... E....

    This is like nothing else I have ever heard. 😌

  59. B.... F....

    I feel like this is about her being in love with an alcoholic. God, the feels. So beautiful.

  60. a.... ....

    her musiiiicccc💙💙i love the whole album

  61. M.... P....

    i am not lying when i say that i've listened to this song on repeat for the past hour.

  62. D.... _....

    😿😻 People say I am weird because of my taste in music. While they listen to rap I listen to this because it actually has meaning...

    D.... _....

    +Indrikis Paiders kids these day especially the ones that say I am weird listen to songs about sex and drugs...

  63. E.... ....

    You have this incredible voice,that is irresistible. I hear this huge range of emotions,and I am always brought on this wild rollercoaster of feeling every time I listen to your music. You are by far the best female artist I have ever heard.If you existed when I was a teen while listening to Lisa Loeb and Alanis,you would've been my favorite.Please don't lose touch with your talent like so many artists do.I am one dedicated fan,love you!!!

  64. K.... G....

    Just found her I'm so in love right now 💕

  65. K.... ....

    From Russia with LOVE!!

  66. r.... ....

    this is what my dreams sound and look like

  67. I.... ....

    Amazing . <3

  68. K.... C....

  76. r.... k....

    I LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH+ SHE 'S HOT

  77. K.... G....

    this is my favorite song my Zella

  78. M.... J....

    Reminds me of Chelsea Hotel by Lana Del Rey

  79. J.... M....

    She's wayyyy too underrated!

    J.... M....

    +Indrikis Paiders shes really not that popular

    J.... M....

    +Indrikis Paiders popular is widely known. Its going up to a group of 50 or so people and a couple of them knowing the artist. Jon Bellion gets millions of views per video. Do you know him at all without going and looking him up?

  80. A.... L....

    I hope 2016 brings Zella Day copious amounts of success. I had the privilege of seeing her live in September and instantly was attracted to her voice, appearance, behavior, and overall aura. She truly is amazingly beautiful and talented and I would be so proud to see her gain the following she deserves

  81. R.... L....

    wow que excelente canción me enamore de tu musica *-*

  82. A.... ....

    any alchestbreach fans here? anybody?

  83. J.... N....

    Our generations Emmylou Harris. Obviously she's her own talent completely, but I hear some Emmylou here for sure.

  85. C.... A....
