You'll See
David Foster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll see,
You think I can't go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side,
You'll see
Somehow, some way
You'll see,
You think that you destroyed my faith in love.
You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home,
You'll see
Somehow, someday
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat.
I have truth on my side,
You only have deceit
You'll see, somehow, someday
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive,
I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
You'll see, you'll see
You'll see, mmmm, mmmm
The lyrics of David Foster's song You'll See speak to the idea of independence, self-reliance, and resilience. The song is a declaration of the singer's strength and ability to survive in the absence of someone whom they once depended on. The lyrics express the idea that the person singing has been belittled by the subject of the song, who sees them as weak and unable to function without their love. However, the singer refutes this idea, saying that they are capable of living without their love and will even thrive on their own.
The phrase "You'll see" is repeated throughout the song as a challenge to the subject's perception of the singer's strength. In each verse, the singer asserts that they will prove their independence and resilience to the subject, who has underestimated them. The use of the phrase "You'll see" at the end of each verse is a way of emphasizing the singer's determination and confidence in their ability to survive without the subject's love.
Overall, You'll See is a powerful anthem about self-love and resilience in the face of heartbreak. The repeated assertion that "it will be mine" is a mantra of self-affirmation, as the singer claims ownership over their own emotional well-being and refuses to let anyone take it from them.
