Something to Go On
Crystal Bernard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So why did you love me
You said that you loved me
'Cause I didn't need it if you didn't mean it
You didn't either
I took a chance fell in love
Well that's my fault
Well it takes two to win or lose
Give me something to go on
Or just go on and let me
Go on without you
Just give me something to go on
Didn't ask you to need me
If you needed me
Well you needed me
I'm only asking for honesty
Honestly
If you're afraid to fall in love
I'm not your enemy
You're confused just to tell the truth
Come on baby just talk to me
Crystal Bernard's song "Something to Go On" is a heartfelt ballad about the uncertainties and complications that arise in a relationship. The singer seems to be aware of the fact that the love she received from her partner was not entirely sincere, and that she herself is partly to blame for having fallen in love despite knowing this. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation, as the singer begs her partner for some kind of guidance - "Just give me something to go on" - while at the same time maintaining her own dignity and sense of self-worth by asking for honesty and truth.
The song is particularly effective in its use of repetition and understated emotion, which highlight the singer's vulnerability and her need for understanding and support. The phrase "something to go on" is repeated throughout the song, creating a sense of urgency and pleading. The contrast between the singer's plea for honesty and her partner's refusal to provide it underscores the difficulties of finding true intimacy and connection in a world where people's motives are often unclear.
Overall, "Something to Go On" is a beautiful and poignant song that captures the complexities of human relationships and the yearning for emotional connection that drives us all.
