Lyrics
You gotta get up
You need to take action and rise.
by yourself
You have to do it independently.
you can either flee
You have the choice to escape or transform your life.
or change your life
Take matters
Take control of your own situation.
into your own sweet hands
Act on your own initiative.
For a change
Bring about a change.
in your everlasting drama-tale
Change the narrative of your ongoing troubles.
so free yourself
Liberate yourself.
I did what I could
Despite efforts, the person tried to help but was unsuccessful.
but you ran back
The person tried to escape but returned to familiarity.
to what you knew
Returning to a known but possibly negative situation.
I’m not the saviour
Rejecting the role of a savior in someone's life.
of your life
So free yourself
Reiterate the need to emancipate oneself.
So free yourself
Emphasizing the importance of self-liberation.
Do it on your own means (aha, aha)
Encouraging self-reliance and independence.
Do it on your own
Emphasizing individual effort.
Get your act together
Organize yourself to break free.
to set yourself free
Take action to liberate yourself.
Left me standing
Expressing abandonment in a difficult situation.
Out in the pouring rain
Left alone in challenging circumstances.
couldn’t even breath
Unable to cope, struggling for breath.
when you said you ain’t coming home to me
Received news that the person won't return.
how should I forgive you
Questioning the possibility of forgiveness.
after all you’ve done
Reflecting on the actions that require forgiveness.
I just hope
Expressing a hope that the person won't return.
You’ll never come knocking at my door again
Desiring to avoid a repeat of the past.
I did what I could
Despite efforts, the person returned to the familiar.
but you ran back to what you knew
Learning to let go of situations beyond control.
and I’ve learned how to let go
Gaining the ability to release attachment.
twice the pride, double the fall
Highlighting the consequence of excessive pride.
You funked up
Making a mistake or failing multiple times.
one too many times
Failing one too many times, reaching a breaking point.
