Gotta Pull Myself Together
The Nolans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that I know,
why did I doubt you,
I let you go,
Now I'm without you,
Thought I was cool,
Imagination,
I was the fool,
Fell to temptation

But you won't see me cry,
'Cause its no good,
Since you said goodbye.
And now honey I gotta stop,
Gotta start pickin' up,
Gotta pull myself together,
Honey, I'm breakin' up,
Now that we ain't makin' up,
Just gotta pull myself together.

I was so sure,
it wouldn't upset me,
so I closed the door,
why did you let me,
I lost control,
Out for sensation,
I'm in the cold,
sad situation,
I try hard not to say,
I t hurt so bad,
since you went away.

Overall Meaning

The Nolans's song "Gotta Pull Myself Together" is a classic track that tells a familiar story of a failed relationship. The song is a heartfelt confession of the regrets and consequences that come with losing somebody who was once dearly loved. In the opening verse, the singer acknowledges that she was foolish to have let her guard down and lost her partner. She admits to being caught up in a world of fantasy that led to her downfall.


In the chorus, the singer expresses her determination to move on from her heartbreak. She refuses to let her emotions get the best of her and accepts that there is no point in crying over spilled milk. The singer resigns herself to the fact that her love is gone, and the only thing left to do is pick up the pieces of her shattered heart and carry on.


In the second verse, the singer reveals that she thought she would be able to handle the break-up, but the reality is that she didn't expect to feel so lost and alone. She acknowledges that she lost control and is now in a "sad situation". She tries to put on a brave face and not let her sadness show, but the pain is too much to bear. She is haunted by memories of her love and admits that she is hurting badly since they parted ways.

A nostalgic melody and a clear singing voice that reminds me of those days. And the dance video is also a masterpiece.
