Pick Me Up on Your Way Down
Resilience in Heartbreak: Pick Me Up on Your Way Down
Lyrics
You were mine for just a while
You were once my partner or lover, but only for a limited time.
Now you're puttin' on the style
Now you're adopting a sophisticated or fashionable demeanor.
And you've never once looked back
You haven't reflected on your past or roots.
At your home across the track
Your origins or humble background are being ignored.
You're the gossip of the town
You've become a subject of local gossip.
But my heart can still be found
Despite this, my emotions for you still linger.
Where you tossed it on the ground
My heart was discarded and remains where you left it.
Pick me up on your way down
I'm asking you to reconnect with me when you face difficulties.
Pick me up on your way down
A repetition of the plea for assistance when you're in a low state.
When you're blue and all alone
Especially when you're feeling sad and abandoned.
When their glamour starts to bore you
When the allure of your current lifestyle becomes tiresome.
Come on back where you belong
Return to where you truly belong.
You may be their pride and joy
Although you may be admired by others, they will find someone else to appreciate.
But they'll find another toy
Your position or status will be replaced by a new fascination.
And they'll take away your crown
They will strip you of your perceived importance.
Pick me up on your way down
A repetition of the request for support in times of downfall.
They have changed your attitude
Your demeanor has been altered, making you proud and disrespectful.
Made you haughty and so rude
Your newfound companions are responsible for your change in behavior.
Your new friends can take the blame
Blame for your actions can be attributed to your current associates.
Underneath you're still the same
Despite the external changes, your true nature remains unchanged.
When you've learned these things are true
Once you realize these truths, I'll be patiently waiting for you.
I'll be waiting here for you
Your fall from grace is anticipated.
As you tumble to the ground
As you face hardships or challenges.
Pick me up on your way down
A repetition of the plea for assistance when you're in a low state.
Pick me up on your way down
A repetition of the request for support in times of downfall.
When you're blue and all alone
A repetition of the plea for assistance when you're in a low state.
When their glamour starts to bore you
Especially when you're feeling sad and abandoned.
Come on back where you belong
Return to where you truly belong.
You may be their pride and joy
Although you may be admired by others, they will find someone else to appreciate.
But they'll find another toy
Your position or status will be replaced by a new fascination.
And they'll take away your crown
They will strip you of your perceived importance.
Pick me up on your way down
A repetition of the request for support in times of downfall.
