It's on You
Navigating Love's Maze: It's on You by Kat McDowell
Lyrics
I had a dream that you were cool and things were different
The speaker had a dream where the person addressed was admirable and circumstances were different.
Today I woke up saw the light
The speaker woke up today and gained clarity or understanding.
It kinda feels like l'm a fool for your resentment
The speaker feels foolish for the resentment the addressed person holds.
And if that's the way your feelin', alright
Accepting the addressed person's feelings if that's how they truly feel.
If I'm so hard to love
Suggesting the possibility of being difficult to love.
I never open up
Admitting a lack of emotional openness.
If you can't get enough
If the addressed person can't find satisfaction in the relationship.
That's on you, that's on you, though
Attributing responsibility for the relationship's issues to the addressed person.
If I'm too much to take
Implies being overwhelming for the addressed person.
You say my friends are fake
Accusation of the addressed person disliking the speaker's friends.
You could just walk away
Suggesting the addressed person has the option to leave the relationship.
It's on you...
Stating that the responsibility for the relationship's status lies with the addressed person.
It's on you!
Reinforcing the idea that the addressed person bears the responsibility.
It's on you!
Emphasizing the responsibility on the addressed person.
It's on you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
Repetition emphasizing the responsibility on the addressed person.
You-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
Continued emphasis on the addressed person's responsibility.
It's on you!
Repeatedly stating that the responsibility lies with the addressed person.
That's on you
Restating the idea that responsibility for the situation is on the addressed person.
You feel alone but haven't been for like a second
The addressed person feels isolated despite the speaker's presence.
I've been beside you all this time
The speaker claims to have been there for the addressed person all along.
It'll bring you way down low the minute that you let it
Warning that allowing negative feelings to take over will bring emotional distress.
And if you wanna go and let it, alright
Accepting if the addressed person chooses to succumb to negativity.
If I'm so hard to love
Possibly acknowledging being challenging to love.
I never open up
Admitting a lack of openness in the speaker's behavior.
If you can't get enough
If the addressed person cannot find fulfillment in the relationship.
That's on you, that's on you, though
Placing responsibility for relationship issues on the addressed person.
I used to take the bait
Admitting to reacting impulsively or defensively in the past.
I'd over compensate
Overcompensating for past mistakes or shortcomings.
But now I want some space
Expressing a desire for personal space now.
it' on you
Assigning responsibility to the addressed person for the current situation.
That's on you!
Reiterating the attribution of responsibility to the addressed person.
That's on you!
Repeating the sentiment that the addressed person bears responsibility.
That's on you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
Continued emphasis on the addressed person's responsibility.
You-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou
Reaffirming the idea that the responsibility is on the addressed person.
That's on you!
Restating that the responsibility lies with the addressed person.
That's on you
Reiterating that the responsibility for the situation is on the addressed person.
