Stand Up
BC Jean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Verse 1)
This is not the only love you have
Even though it's never hurt so bad
This is for the dreamers, this is for believers
Gotta give what you have

This is not the only heart to break
This is for the risk you gotta take
This is for the fighters, hold up all your lighters
Gotta give what you have
(B-sec)
No more holding me down
'Cause I never wanted to be like this
Gonna turn my life around, you'll see
Only one way left to go
(Chorus)
You gotta stand up,
'Til you can't go no further
Maybe they don't deserve ya
Maybe it's just a blessing in disguise
Stand up, even if you don't wanna
It'll just make you stronger
Oh, just to know you tried
You gotta stand up
Oh, hands up to the sky
You gotta stand up
Oh, just to know you tried

(Verse 2)
Got another rip up in my jeans
I'm staring out the scenes
This is for the faded, underestimated
It can only get better

But I've never felt so high
And fallen down so low
I'm all out of control
But it can only get better

(B-sec)
Get up off of the ground
Cause I never thought it would be like this
Gonna turn my life around, you'll see
Only one way left to go

(Chorus)
You gotta stand up,
'Til you can't go no further
Maybe they don't deserve ya
Maybe it's just a blessing in disguise
Stand up, even if you don't wanna
It'll just make you stronger
Oh, just to know you tried
You gotta stand up
Oh, hands up to the sky
You gotta stand up
Oh, just to know you tried

(Bridge)
Like a hit and run
And your heart goes numb
And pain you can't escape
When the rug is pulled
Out from under you
And your souls about to break

The train is crashing
The lights are flashing
You can't get off the track
You're at an all time low
But you can't loose hope
'Cause there's ain't no turning back

(Chorus)
You gotta stand up,
'Til you can't go no further
Maybe they don't deserve ya
Maybe it's just a blessing in disguise
Stand up, even if you don't wanna
It'll just make you stronger
Oh, just to know you tried
You gotta stand up
Oh, hands up to the sky
You gotta stand up
Oh, just to know you tried

(Outro)
This is not the only love you have
Even though it's never hurt so bad




This is for the dreamers, this is for believers
Gotta give what you have
