Lyrics
Your good shoes on
Putting on your best shoes.
Your hair back tight
Ensuring your hair is styled tightly.
The city waits
The city is anticipating your presence.
For you tonight
There are expectations for your presence tonight.
The fools are gone
The people who lack understanding or judgment have left.
Take all the light
Embrace the brightness, absorb all the positive energy.
Don't look for me
Don't search for me; you will be fine on your own.
You'll be alright
Reassurance that everything will be okay without their presence.
You've got to do it alone
Facing challenges independently is necessary.
I can't be there for you
The speaker cannot provide support in this situation.
You've got to be on your own
Encouragement to handle situations independently.
I know you'll see it through
Confidence in the listener's ability to overcome challenges.
You've got to do it alone
Reiteration of the need to face challenges alone.
I can't be there for you
Restating the speaker's inability to offer assistance.
It tears me up
Expressing pain or distress at witnessing the listener cry.
To see you cry
Seeing someone cry is emotionally difficult.
Like nothing else
Describing the emotional impact as unparalleled.
I know those eyes
Recognition of the familiar look in the crying person's eyes.
No easy way
No simple or effortless solution to the situation.
My words are cold
The speaker's words lack warmth or comfort.
The only thing
Referring to a shared experience or relationship.
We've ever known
The only common ground between them.
You've got to do it alone
Reiteration of the importance of facing challenges alone.
I can't be there for you
Emphasizing the speaker's inability to provide support.
You've got to be on your own
Encouragement to navigate difficulties independently.
I know you'll see it through
Confidence in the listener's capability to overcome obstacles.
You've got to do it alone
Restating the necessity of confronting challenges without assistance.
I can't be there for you
Reiterating the speaker's inability to be there for the listener.
