Just Go
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, that would be my first mistake
Yeah, I, I've been lied to
Your eyes are ice cold blue
A mirror of the heart inside of you
You can't walk back in my life
You had your chance to be by my side
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
I got a new love now, yeah
She's my new love now
And she loves me so
Takes me where you never took me
Although you tried too
Her eyes, they read so true
So different from the way it was with you
I don't need you in my life
Forgot what it's like to be satisfied
I don't wanna hear you cry 'cause I know
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
Takin' a look at these photographs
Fightin' my tears and I try to relax
'Cause you came and you left
And it all went by so fast
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
To me you're already gone
I got a new love now, yeah, yeah
I trusted you
And that would be my first mistake
In Jesse McCartney's song "Just Go," the artist sings about a failed relationship and moving on. The lyrics convey the singer's feelings of betrayal and mistrust towards their former partner. They sing about their previous love being like a mirror with ice-cold, blue eyes, symbolic of the person's cold and unfeeling heart. The singer is unwilling to give their ex-partner another chance, even if they are crying and regretful because they understand they had the opportunity to be with them and lost it. The chorus of the song repeatedly tells them to "just go" and that they are already gone from the singer's life emotionally. The singer sings about finding a new love who makes them feel happy and fulfilled and that their new love is entirely different from the person they were previously with.
"Just Go" is a significant song in that it shows the singer's growth and maturity as an artist. It is a reflection of his experience in relationships and how he perceives them. McCartney wrote the song with the help of American producer Tricky Stewart, and the track is part of his third studio album, "Departure." Additionally, the song's music video features actress, singer, and dancer Jasmine Alveran, who was previously featured in the "Leavin'" music video.
