I've Got You
Embracing Light Through Shadows: I've Got You by Lucy May Walker
Lyrics
For all the days spent in the dark
Reflecting on the time spent in difficult or challenging situations
For all the hurt inside my heart
Expressing emotional pain or distress held within
There were times I felt like giving up
Describing moments of feeling close to quitting or giving up
But you were there, to help me through
Acknowledging the support received from someone during tough times
For all the tears I couldn't hide
Referring to tears that were impossible to conceal or hide
For all the words I kept inside
Referring to unspoken or suppressed feelings
There were times I felt like giving up
Reiterating feelings of almost surrendering or giving up
But you were there, to help me through
Highlighting the presence and assistance of someone during hardships
And I know, I know, I know, that I've got you
Expressing certainty about having the support of the mentioned person
I've got you-oo-hoo x 4
Reaffirming the presence and support received ("I've got you")
You're the one who gives me hope
Identifying the person as a source of hope and optimism
You're always there when I come home
Emphasizing the consistent presence of the person at home
Make me believe that I can follow my dreams
Encouragement to pursue aspirations and ambitions
When you are there, I'm not so scared
Feeling more secure and less fearful when the person is around
And I know, I know, I know, that I've got you
Reiteration of certainty about having the person's support
I've got you-oo-hoo x 4
Repeating the affirmation of having the person ("I've got you")
Every song I try to write happy, sad, you're by my side
Stating that the person is present during the creative process
Every note I've ever played, it's your words that keep me sane
Attributing the person's influence in maintaining mental stability
And I need you even more than I've ever done before
Expressing increased dependency on the person
You're the one who keeps me safe, so please don't ever go away
Recognizing the person as a source of safety and security
I've got you
Reaffirming the possession of the person's support ("I've got you")
I've got you-oo-hoo x 6
Repeated assertion of having the support of the mentioned person
I've got you
Final confirmation of having the person's support and presence
