Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive

Your friends have shown you a better way
All my years of loving you, ending today
Yes, you go on, darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive

Go on, may god bless you
It was fun, while it was fun
Have fun, baby, I hate to lose you
It's all over, what's done is done

Yes, go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
Yes, your good luck or bad luck, baby
Your friends must take the blame
Oh, I can't beg you, baby
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive





Oh, I'll, I'll survive

It’s kind of disgusting that Don Eladio and Hector would think that Gus would just forget about this and think that they’re cool years later.

@TinkerTailorSoldier1

They never were cool. It was just business.

Eladio never trusted Gus. He waited for Gus to drink the alcohol before everyone else did and he gave him an escort to just go to the bathroom.

Up until the end he expected Gus to try something, he just didn’t see it coming.

@whatno3145

​@Surgical If you watch BCS, it's hinted that Eladio knows that Gus hates him. And he probably knows Gus killed off Lalo. He just doesn't care, cause he sees himself as unstoppable.

One of the most prideful characters in this show, next to Walt.

@reeereeebriieee8661

Hector never thought that. He was the only one suspicious of Gus.
