I get your remorse

The things I said

Really are intense to hear

I can't control my anger and I say

Whatever makes you stay right here

It hurt, I know, me too

But you gotta admit that nothing out there

Is that fun, babe

Lie on my chest, come back all shy

I fake and you pretend you don't see

And when I said: I hate you, babe

It was just a way of speaking

Think twice, walk right past me

We understand each other without trying

And when I said: I'm not coming back, babe

It was just a way of speaking

I came back

And depending on what I say

It might hit the paper

That at this age, it's kinda late

To be so sentimental

But I can't help it

Since I never learned

Love and everything that hit deep

Is too late for me

Lie on my chest, come back all shy

I fake and you pretend you don't see

And when I said: I hate you, babe

It was just a way of speaking

Think twice, walk right past me

We understand each other without trying

And when I said: I'm not coming back, babe

It was just a way of speaking

I came back

Think twice, walk right past me

We understand each other without trying

And when I said: I'm not coming back, babe

It was just a way of speaking

SONG MEANING

“Modo De Dizer” is Jão’s heartfelt confession that sometimes the worst things we blurt out are simply figures of speech. The Brazilian singer owns up to his impulsive temper, admitting that phrases like “Eu te odeio” and “Eu não volto” spill out in the heat of the moment but never reflect his real feelings. Underneath the sharp words lies a tender plea: Please stay, because nothing out there is as fun as us together.

The song paints a relatable cycle of arguing, regretting and running back into each other’s arms. Jão’s lyrics show him wrestling with guilt, joking about how he is already “too old” to be so dramatic, yet still unable to hide his overflowing emotions. In the end, love wins over pride; he repeats “Eu voltei” like a joyful chant, proving that honest vulnerability can glue two people back together after every storm.
