Who You Are
Amber Pacific Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You weren't right, but was I wrong?
We were caught up in a storm
Waging war, battles won
Even heroes come undone
It wasn't hard but you messed this up
At the end we had enough
Holding on the damage done
I'm moving on

If this is it, I'll never miss
What we had when we were kids
Growing up this meant so much
We had it all in front of us
But our lives weren't just the same
You pulled it out from under me
But I won't bring you down
I guess it's over now

Chorus
There's no fight in who you are
I fought for you, you fell so hard
You could mend a broken heart
Or break the ones who broke your fall
Where you stand you lost your chance
I wished you well, I meant it
But I've lost all faith in who you are

You've always been the kind of friend
I could count on to the end
And if it's hard, don't play the part
You never stopped to let it in
I couldn't help when you gave this up
Turned your back on this so called love
But I won't bring you down
I guess it's over now

Chorus

For every time that you feel lost
Hear my voice and sing that song
You have a choice, not life or death
In the end not giving in
Because you're free to make things right
With everything that's kept inside
Let it out, the worst is over now





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amber Pacific's song "Who You Are" explore the end of a tumultuous relationship and the betrayal that took place within it. The first verse reflects on the confusion and questioning that arises when both parties realize they may not have been entirely right or wrong in the situation. It acknowledges that even heroes and strong individuals can become undone in the face of conflict and that damage has been done. Despite this, the singer chooses to move on from the relationship, recognizing that it was not healthy.


The second verse reflects on the nostalgia and significance that the relationship held, especially during their younger years. It implies that the stability and happiness they had together disappeared because of the actions of one person, causing the singer to lose faith in them. There is a sense of disappointment and resignation as the chorus emphasizes the lack of fight and integrity in the person who caused the pain. The singer expresses the wish for them to mend or break the hearts of those who hurt them, but ultimately states that they have lost all faith in who they are.


The bridge offers some hope and encouragement, emphasizing that even in moments of feeling lost, the person should hear the voice of the singer and find strength to make things right. It suggests that they have a choice and the power to change their circumstances, letting go of what has kept them trapped and finding freedom to move forward.


Overall, "Who You Are" is a poignant reflection on the dissolution of a relationship tainted by betrayal and the subsequent loss of faith in the character of the other person involved.
