Pick Me Up On Your Way Down
Love's Fall from Grace: Pick Me Up On Your Way Down
Lyrics
You were mine for just a while
You were once my partner, but it was only for a short period.
Now you're puttin' on the style
Now you're adopting a stylish or sophisticated manner.
And you've never once looked back
You've moved forward in life and haven't reflected on your past.
At your home across the track
Your original humble home is now distant and different.
You're the gossip of the town
You've become the subject of town gossip.
But my heart can still be found
Despite the changes, my love for you still exists.
Where you tossed it on the ground
Your actions have hurt me deeply.
Pick me up on your way down
I'm asking you to come back and pick up the pieces.
Pick me up on your way down
This plea is reiterated, emphasizing the desire for reconciliation.
When you're blue and all alone
When you're feeling sad and lonely.
When their glamour starts to bore you
When the excitement of your new life becomes dull.
Come on back where you belong
Return to where you truly belong.
You may be their pride and joy
Others may cherish you, but it's temporary.
But they'll find another toy
They will easily replace you with someone else.
Then they'll take away your crown
Your status and position will be taken away.
Pick me up on your way down
Come back to me when you face these challenges.
They have changed your attitude
Your attitude has changed, becoming arrogant and rude.
Made you haughty and so rude
Blame your new friends for the negative transformation.
Your new friends can take the blame
Despite the external changes, you're still the same underneath.
Underneath you're still the same
Responsibility for the negative changes lies with your new companions.
When you've learned these things are true
Once you realize these truths, I'll be patiently waiting.
I'll be waiting here for you
When you face hardships, I'll be here for you.
As you tumble to the ground
As you experience difficulties, remember my support.
Pick me up on your way down
I'm still willing to be there for you when you need help.
Pick me up on your way down
A repetition of the request for assistance.
When you're blue and all alone
Reiteration of the offer to be there during tough times.
When the glamor starts to bore you
Return when the allure of your current life diminishes.
Come on back where you belong
Come back to where you truly belong.
You may be their pride and joy
While you may be valued by others, it's not everlasting.
But they'll find another toy
They will easily replace you with someone new.
Then they'll take away your crown
Your elevated status will be taken away from you.
Pick me up on your way down
I'm still here, ready to support you when you fall.
