I Was Gonna Cancel
Kylie Minogue Lyrics

I was gonna cancel then I looked into the sky,
I was considering cancelling my plans, but then I realized that the world keeps moving, and the sun will still shine, despite any negativity that may be present.

Knew the badness won't prevent the sun to shine
I understood that problem or difficulty can't stop good things from happening.

I was gonna cancel then took a sec to realize
I was about to give up on my plans, but then I took a moment to think and reflect.

All the disappointment that would trail behind,
I understood that if I cancelled, I would feel regret, and the disappointment of not following through would linger.

I was gonna cancel then you reminded me of who I am,
Someone reminded me of my identity and my capabilities, which encouraged me to keep going.

Everything is clearer than a mirror is to woman
My understanding of myself and my potential is now crystal clear.

Just the same as a dog is to man.
This understanding is an essential part of me, like a dog is to its owner.

Who cares what you know,
What you already know is not as important as what you can find out for yourself.

Don't let that in the way no way,
Don't let your doubts or preconceived ideas block your path.

Shut out all the doubt,
Get rid of any negative thoughts that are clouding your judgment.

What's on the other side? (Yeah)
You won't know what you can achieve unless you take a chance and step forward.

You will never know unless you,
Very few things in life will become apparent without taking a chance and making a move.

I was gonna cancel then I thought about the strength
Instead of cancelling, I thought about how strong I am and what I can achieve with that strength.

That I got from all of the prayers and what it meant,
I realized that the positive energy and support from prayer has made me stronger.

That time is just that money and the love watch how you spend,
Time is precious, like money, and one should be careful how they use it to maximize their love and happiness.

I was gonna cancel until you reminded me of what I do,
Someone reminded me of the accomplishments and successes I've had and how much I enjoy doing what I do.

Now I see it clearer, my best friend is a mirror look behind me
I now have a clear view of myself and my abilities, like I'm looking at myself in a mirror.

And I see all the things I've been through.
I also see all the challenges I've overcome and the experiences I've had in my life that have made me who I am today.

What's wrong with saying I love you?
There's nothing wrong with expressing one's love for another person.

It's nothing to kid about.
Love is not something to joke about, it's a serious matter.

Some people going through a struggle,
For some individuals, expressing love is difficult when they're struggling in life.

Trying to scribble it out.
They may try to ignore the feeling of love or hide it.

They say attention is a shovel,
They think that attention only digs them deeper into their problems.

It's time to dig 'em out.
However, it's essential to dig out those feelings of love from deep inside and express them, which helps ease their struggle.

You can't just let 'em stay in a bubble,
It's not beneficial to keep feelings of love inside without ever expressing them.

They'll pop to get it out.
Eventually, those feelings will come out in some way, releasing that pressure and making room for emotional health.

What's wrong with love, love?
The song questions why people might have difficulty talking about love, love is a beautiful thing.

Go, go, go, gi-i-irl,
The lyrics encourage action and movement forward.

Go, go, go, go girl.
The singer emboldens the listener to be bold, courageous, and take their life into their own hands.
