Lyrics
Please, don't let it get to you
Encouragement to avoid being negatively affected
Even if you don't realize it
Even if unaware, the responsibility is yours
It's still all up to you
Emphasizing personal agency and control
Even if you don't, even if you don't realize it
Reiteration of personal responsibility, even if not recognized
It's still all up to you
Reaffirmation of individual control
I want to, even when it don't make sense, even when it don't make sense
Expressing a desire to pursue despite lack of logic
Actually I want to more when you don't make sense
Increased desire when faced with ambiguity
So please, don't let it get to you
Repetition of the plea not to be affected
I know that you won't realize it, but it's still all up to you
Acknowledgment that understanding may not occur, but control remains
I know that you won't, I know that you won't realize it
Acknowledgment of potential lack of awareness
But it's still all up to you
Reiteration of personal agency despite lack of realization
You're not gonna get it exactly how you want it
Managing expectations—things may not go exactly as desired
But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try, no
Encouragement to try despite potential challenges
And it's not gonna feel the way that you expected
Preparation for the unexpected emotional response
And it's going to hurt to figure it out, yeah
Acknowledgment of the pain in understanding
But if you're patient
Advocating patience as a virtue
And you're kind
Highlighting the importance of kindness in the process
I don't know why
Mysterious reflection on unknown reasons
It's no fun
Commenting that the experience may not be enjoyable
And how come
Raising a question about the persistence of thoughts
I still think of you now
Continued contemplation of the subject
Please, don't let it get to you
Repetition of the plea not to be affected
Even if you don't realize it
Reiteration of individual responsibility, even if not realized
It's still all up to you
Emphasizing personal agency and control
Even if you don't, even if you don't realize it
Restating personal responsibility, even if not recognized
It's still all up to you
Reaffirmation of individual control
