Right Here
Jay Ollero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You called me on the phone
To tell me all about the ways that he has done you wrong
He can't communicate
Stuck in his selfish ways
And every time you call him out he says gonna change
You say, he won't do things you want
Your tears, the pain hurts me the same
I hate to see you like this, I hate to see you like this
So don't keep telling me your looking for some feel more
Iv'e heard it before
And there's someone who can give you what you need
But your too blind too see
That I'm right here baby,
I'm right here baby
I'm right here...
Yea I'm right here baby
I'm right here baby
I'm right here...
He doesn't know your worth
Ain't never gonna learn
You need somebody who is always gonna put you first
Iv'e been right next too you
And helped you make it through
Iv'e been a shoulder you could cry on when you needed too
You say, he won't do things you want
And I know you don't like, but you can't bring yourself to leave him girl
Your tears, the pain hurts me the same
I hate to see you like this, I hate to see you like this
So don't keep telling me your looking for something more
Iv'e heard it before
And there's someone who can give you what you need
But your too blind too see
That I'm right here baby,
I'm right here baby
I'm right here...
Yea I'm right here baby
I'm right here baby
I'm right here...
You say, he won't do things you want
And I know you don't like it, but you can't bring yourself to leave him girl
Your tears, your pain hurts me the same
I hate to see you like this, I hate to see you like this
So don't keep telling me your looking for something more
Iv'e heard it before
And there's someone who can give you what you need
But your too blind too see
That I'm right here baby,
I'm right here baby
I'm right here...
Yea I'm right here baby
I'm right here baby
I'm right here...
I'm right here.
The lyrics of Jay Ollero's song "Right Here" showcase a person trying to comfort someone they love who is in a toxic relationship. The song starts with the singer receiving a call from their loved one who wants to vent about their partner's unchanging behavior. The partner is unable to communicate and is stuck in their selfish ways. However, every time the partner is called out, they promise to change, but never do.
The singer understands that their loved one wants to leave the relationship, but is unable to do so because they still love their partner. The singer empathizes with their loved one’s pain and hates to see them suffer. They assure their loved one that they are there for them and can give them the love and support they need.
The song's message is that sometimes, people get so caught up in a toxic relationship that they can't see what's right in front of them. They can't see that someone who loves them unconditionally is right there, waiting to give them everything they need. The song is a call to action for people, especially those in destructive relationships, to open their eyes, see the love that surrounds them, and make better choices.
