Lyrics
Be strong
Encouragement to be emotionally resilient and tough.
I need you to be
Requesting the listener to possess strength or resilience.
You were everything I need
Addressing the importance of the person, fulfilling emotional needs.
Gave me anything I want
Expressing gratitude for fulfilling desires and providing what's wanted.
Every year we got older
Indicates the passage of time, aging in the relationship.
But I never grow up
Despite aging, personal maturity seems lacking.
And never forget about
Remembering advice or a commitment about settling down.
What you said we should settle down
Recalling an agreement to commit to stability.
And I thought we'd get around to it
Anticipating addressing the commitment but procrastinating.
But I just got around
Only managing to come close to addressing the commitment.
It's time I do right
Acknowledging the need for corrective actions.
'Cause you should've left
Acknowledging the past mistake of not leaving.
Do it for me
Requesting action for one's benefit.
If you won't do it yourself
Encouraging self-care or self-action if others won't.
You put me first
Recognition of being prioritized despite difficulties.
When I put you through it
Acknowledging causing pain despite being prioritized.
Yeah, I put you through it
Admitting past mistakes that caused pain.
When I should've knew it was best that you
Realization that it was best for the person to leave.
Run away I'm no good for you
Admitting personal inadequacy and lack of suitability for the person.
Run and find somebody better
Encouraging the person to seek a better partner elsewhere.
Someone who is ready for you
Suggesting the need for someone prepared for a relationship.
While I get my life together
Personal acknowledgment of needing self-improvement.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Expressing a longing or feeling of loss.
Run away I'm no good for you
Reiterating personal unsuitability for the person.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Repeating the sentiment of needing the person to find someone better.
Run and find somebody better
Encouragement to find a more compatible partner.
Need-need you to let go
Requesting the person to release or move on.
Need
A repetition emphasizing the need for release or letting go.
