Go your own Way
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you want to do
If I could
Baby, I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
The song "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac is a powerful rock ballad which speaks volumes about the complications of love and relationships. The lyrics precisely articulate unresolved conflicts and pain caused by them. The opening lines, "Loving you, isn't the right thing to do / How can I ever change things that I feel?" reveal the singer's inner turmoil where he finds himself in love with someone, but is hesitant in pursuing a relationship because of the potential for harm. The singer feels unable to change what he feels and knows it is not the best choice.
The second verse of the song points out the partner's lack of receptivity where he is willing to offer his world to her, but she doesnât seem to want it. She is more interested in seeking pleasure and temporary enjoyment (âPacking up, shacking up is all you want to doâ) instead of committing to a more stable and meaningful relationship.
The chorus "You can go your own way, go your own way / You can call it another lonely day" shows that the singer knows what the solution is and wants his partner to go their separate ways if it means they will both be happier in the end.
In this song, Fleetwood Mac powerfully communicates the struggles and frustrations of love and relationships through a simple, yet soulful and memorable rock anthem. It highlights the importance of being true to oneself and willing to walk away from someone who does not share the same vision.

Loving you
Even though I love you
Isn't the right thing to do
I know it's not good for me
How can I ever change things
I can't change the way I feel
That I feel
My feelings are real and won't go away
If I could
If there was a way
Maybe I'd give you my world
I would give you everything I have
How can I
But since I can't
When you won't take it from me
And you won't accept any of it from me
You can go your own way
So, you can leave me and do what you want
Go your own way
Just go and don't look back
You can call it
You can describe it as
Another lonely day
A day of being alone
Tell me why
Can you explain why
Everything turned around
Our relationship changed completely
Packing up
You're leaving
Shacking up is all you want to do
You just want to live with someone else
Open up
If you would just let me
Everything's waiting for you
I have everything you need right here
Another lonely day
Another day of being alone
You can go your own way
You're free to do what you want
Go your own way
Just leave and don't come back
You can call it
You can describe it as
Another lonely day
A day of being alone
You can go your own way
You're free to do what you want
You can call it
You can describe it as
Another lonely day
A day of being alone
You can go your own way
You have the power to chart your own course

A truly LIVE video performance. Takes guts to do that. You can also sense the visceral pain in Stevie and Lindsey here. So real. Stevies's eyes scream agony.

RIP Christine. Your vocals will never die on this song.
@GunsNBudder
Christine was backup in this song. She's barely audible, if at all.
