It's going bad

That's just something I say sometimes

Don't worry, it'll really pass

Once I de-stress for a sec

I don't want to ruin your day

Love, really, if you don't wanna know, well, I'll wave it away

Cry hard for a bit and then I'll set it right

I didn't say it on purpose, just as well I didn't say it

Good morning, my sun

I've stared at the ceiling all night long

And your feelings are cast in concrete

I wish I were like that, I wish I could do that

I wish I could fall like a vase on your carpet

But before I can, you set me back upright

But I crack and I break till I misspeak

And first I repress and forget then regret

It's going bad

That's just something I say sometimes

Don't worry, it'll really pass

Once I de-stress for a sec

I don't want to ruin your day

Love, really, if you don't wanna know, well, I'll wave it away

Cry hard for a bit and then I'll set it right

I didn't say it on purpose, just as well I didn't say it

I want you to be happy, I want you to be happy with me

That it's easy to be with me, that I'm sweet and freeing but

My simplicity's in chains, in five years you'll be worn out and

As long as I keep smiling, you don't need to know

I can feel at sunrise what color the day's gonna be

You ask how I slept, I say, fine, with a smile

Loving comes with enduring, I guess you saw that

And that I sometimes slip because I want to be allowed

It's going bad

That's just something I say sometimes

Don't worry, it'll really pass

Once I de-stress for a sec

I don't want to ruin your day

Love, really, if you don't wanna know, well, I'll wave it away

Cry hard for a bit and then I'll set it right

I didn't say it on purpose, just as well I didn't say it

Did I say that?

SONG MEANING

Ever blurt out “I’m fine” when you’re actually falling apart? That tug-of-war between wanting comfort and not wanting to bother anyone is the beating heart of Heb Ik Dat Gezegd? (“Did I Say That?”). Dutch indie-pop star Froukje teams up with Jens Van Der Meij to paint a candid picture of someone who keeps saying “it’s going badly” yet instantly waves the confession away. She jokes, cries, laughs, and quickly glues the vase back together, all so her lover’s day stays sunny. The catchy chorus is a loop of second-guessing: “Did I really say that?” It’s the sound of a mind that worries it overshared, then tries to erase the evidence.

Beneath the playful synths and breezy melody lies a real talk about mental health, self-censorship, and the fear of being a burden. Froukje envies her partner’s rock-solid emotions, while she herself feels fragile, like a vase ready to shatter on the carpet. Yet the song is anything but gloomy. Its upbeat rhythm, honest humor, and relatable lyrics turn vulnerability into a sing-along moment, reminding us that sharing our cracks can actually make relationships stronger.
