My Time
Embracing Liberation: My Time to Walk Away
Lyrics
So why are you following me
Questioning why someone is following the speaker
do you think I don't see
Expressing awareness of being observed
that you been playing around
Accusing the person of being unfaithful or deceptive
you're not the only one
Asserting that the person is not the only one involved
why the look of surprise
Questioning the person's surprised expression
did I just open your eyes
Claiming to have opened the person's eyes to the truth
did I make you think twice
Making the person reconsider their actions
bout the way you tell your lies
Criticizing the person's dishonesty
No it ain't ok, it's not ok, the way you play
Expressing disapproval of the person's behavior
ain't no way to be
Stating that the behavior is not acceptable
do you think I'll stay, I'll stay for just another day
Questioning the possibility of staying in the relationship
this is how I leave
Deciding to leave the relationship
said it's not ok, so not ok, the way you play
Reiterating disapproval of the person's actions
nothing that I need
Indicating independence and self-sufficiency
but I'll be just fine, so fine, so fine fine
Expressing confidence and contentment
cos' I know that now it is my time
Realizing that it is the speaker's time to move on
and now it's all about me
Focusing on the speaker's own well-being
now that I'm feeling free
Feeling liberated and unrestrained
and I can do as I please
Emphasizing personal freedom and independence
I don't gotta think about your needs
Not having to consider the other person's needs
so you got nothing to say
Asserting that the other person has nothing to say
mouth open anyway
Observing the other person's surprised reaction
but you still look surprised
Announcing the end of the relationship
this is where we say goodbye
Formally saying goodbye
No it ain't ok, it's not ok, the way you play
Repeating disapproval of the person's behavior
ain't no way to be
Reiterating that the behavior is unacceptable
do you think I'll stay, I'll stay for just another day
Questioning the possibility of staying for another day
this is how I leave
Reaffirming the decision to leave
said it's not ok, so not ok, the way you play
Restating disapproval of the person's actions
nothing that I need
Emphasizing that the person is not needed
but I'll be just fine, so fine, so fine fine
Expressing confidence and well-being
cos' I know that now it is my time
Acknowledging that it is now the speaker's time
time, my time to walk away,
Affirming the speaker's right to walk away
and I'm gon' tell myself I should never turn around
Deciding not to look back and move forward
never look behind, no no no no
Rejecting the idea of revisiting the past
No it ain't ok (do you think I'll stay)
Repeating disapproval of the person's behavior
do you think I'll stay, I'll stay for just another day
Questioning the likelihood of staying for another day
No it ain't ok, it's not ok, the way you play
Reiterating that the behavior is unacceptable
ain't no way to be
Stating that the behavior is not the right way to be
do you think I'll stay, I'll stay for just another day
Questioning the possibility of staying for another day
this is how I leave
Reaffirming the decision to leave
said it's not ok, so not ok, the way you play
Restating disapproval of the person's actions
nothing that I need
Emphasizing that the person is not needed
but I'll be just fine, so fine, so fine fine
Expressing confidence and well-being
cos' I know that now it is my time
Reiterating that it is now the speaker's time to move on
