I'll Get Along Somehow
Finding Strength in Heartbreak: I'll Get Along Somehow
Lyrics
Many months have come and gone
Reflecting on the passage of time, acknowledging that many months have passed.
Since you called me on the phone
Recalling a phone call where the partner informed about the end of the relationship.
To tell me that we were threw
Expressing the partner's decision to end the relationship ("threw" might be a typo for "through").
You'd thought it would break my heart
Mocking the partner's belief that the breakup would deeply affect the speaker.
But I fooled you from the start
Claiming to have deceived the partner from the beginning, indicating a lack of trust.
Because I never did trust you
Emphasizing the speaker's initial skepticism and lack of trust in the partner.
Well you'd thought you're mighty wise
Highlighting the partner's perceived arrogance in engaging with other people while claiming to be committed.
To run around with other guys
Accusing the partner of infidelity and insincerity in the relationship.
And still sayin' you were still mine
Pointing out the partner's contradictory behavior of being with others while still claiming exclusivity.
While you had one or two
Contrasting the partner's few affairs with the speaker's numerous relationships.
I had a dozen more than you
Asserting that the speaker had more romantic involvements than the partner.
So you got the foolin' that time
Indicating that the partner was deceived or outsmarted in the relationship.
O let it rain and let it snow
Expressing indifference to external conditions (rain or snow) as a metaphor for facing life's challenges.
I don't care no, no, no
Reiterating the speaker's lack of concern and worry in the face of difficulties.
I'll never worry now
Declaring a lack of concern for the partner who was not fair in the relationship.
You're the one that wasn't fair
Accusing the partner of unfairness and insinuating betrayal.
Wasn't in you to play square
Stating that fairness was not in the partner's nature.
I'll Get Along Somehow
Expressing determination to overcome challenges and move forward independently.
So you keep goin' you way
Advising the partner to continue their path while the speaker follows their own journey.
I'll keep traveling mine
Asserting independence and resilience, suggesting that the partner will regret their actions in the end.
At the end you'll need a friend
Anticipating that the partner will need a friend at the conclusion of their journey.
You'd be the one to sit and pine
Imagining the partner experiencing loneliness and regret at the end of their endeavors.
So let it rain and let it snow
Repeating the theme of indifference to external conditions as a metaphor for facing life's challenges.
I don't care no, no, no
Reiterating the speaker's lack of concern and worry.
I'll Get Along Somehow
Expressing confidence in getting along despite difficulties.
So you keep going you way
Encouraging the partner to continue their path while the speaker pursues their own journey.
I'll keep traveling mine
Reiterating the theme of individual resilience and independence.
But at the end you'll need a friend
Anticipating the partner's need for a friend at the end of their journey.
You'd be the one to sit and pine
Imagining the partner experiencing loneliness and regret in the future.
So let it rain and let it snow
Repeating the theme of indifference to external conditions as a metaphor for facing life's challenges.
I don't care no, no, no
Reiterating the speaker's lack of concern and worry.
I'll Get Along Somehow
Asserting confidence in overcoming challenges and getting along despite difficulties.
