Get You Down
U2 Lyrics

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
I'm not scared of anything that may come my way.

There's nothing you can throw at me
There's nothing that anyone can do or say to bring me down.

That I haven't already heard
I've already faced every challenge that may come my way.

I'm just trying to find a decent melody
I'm looking for a good tune to hum while I'm alone.

A song that I can sing in my own company
A song I can enjoy singing to myself, even when no one else is around.

I never thought you were a fool
I never thought of you as foolish.

But darling, look at you
But now, my love, I see how you've changed.

You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
You must hold your head high, be strong and self-reliant.

These tears are going nowhere, baby
Crying won't help solve your problems, my love.

You've got to get yourself together
You need to pull yourself together and move on.

You've got stuck in a moment
You are stuck in a situation that is hard to move on from.

And now you can't get out of it
You feel like you're trapped and there's no way out.

Don't say that later will be better
Don't keep thinking that things will magically improve in the future.

Now you're stuck in a moment
You're currently feeling trapped and unable to progress forward.

And you can't get out of it
You're genuinely struggling, and you're not sure how to move past this difficult time.

I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
I will not forget the unique things you bring to this world.

But the nights you filled with fireworks, they
But the nights that you lived loud and boldly

They left you with nothing
They left you with nothing but a false sense of excitement.

I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still love the energy and joy you once brought into my life.

I listen through your ears
I want to understand the world through your perspective.

And through your eyes I can see
I want to know how you see the world and understand your point of view.

And you are such a fool
You don't realize your true value.

To worry like you do, oh oh
It's not worth your time to worry so much.

I know it's tough
I understand that this is difficult for you.

And you can never get enough
You'll never be satisfied with what you have.

Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
Pursuing things you don't really need in life will only lead to more stress and trouble.

Oh love, look at you now
Look at yourself now, love.

You've got yourself stuck in a moment
You have put yourself in a permanent state of worry.

I was unconscious, half asleep
I wasn't fully aware of what was happening to me.

The water is warm till you discover how deep
Things seem fine on the surface, but once you dive deeper, it's a different story.

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
I didn't intentionally take a risk, it was a sudden misfortune.

It's a long way down to nothing at all
The fall was catastrophic and left me feeling helpless.

And if the night runs over
If the night drags on longer than it should.

And if the day won't last
If the day feels as though it's moving too quickly.

And if our way should falter
If our plan starts to go off course.

Along the stony pass
On the path that's filled with challenges and obstacles.

It's just a moment, this time will pass
Everything is temporary, and this troublesome time will end as well.
