Be with you
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's hard to fix
Broken hearts when they're divided
But these roots they still sit
Family is undecided
Where it ends, now in the past
Apologies are so important
I know hurt doesn't clean up fast
I built a bridge to let through the water

I know rules are for breaking
I think that's where it all started
Where it all started

I'm feeling alone
All through the years
No sympathy to be shown
Through all the tears
I wanted to be better
But you never thought that of me
And I wonder why
We can't just let the past be

I see words thrown around
Like a drama on the TV
Don't have my head in the clouds
I just wanted to live for me
Wouldn't ask for approval
In my corner I see no one
As I recover from the fall
I never wanted any of this at all

I know rules are for breaking
I think that's where it all started
Where it all started

I'm feeling alone
All through the years
No sympathy to be shown
Through all the tears
I wanted to be better
But you never thought that of me
And I wonder why
We can't just let the past be

I know the bond we have has been stretched
Been stretched out too long
Do you remember what I look like
Before all the wrongs
We used to be so close
But now we've lost it all
To hell with all the distance
Together we could stand tall
Again, again

I'm feeling alone
All through the years
No sympathy to be shown
Through all the tears
I wanted to be better
But you never thought that of me
And I wonder why
We can't just let the past be

I'm feeling alone
All through the years
No sympathy to be shown
Through all the tears
I wanted to be better
But you never thought that of me




And I wonder why
We can't just let the past be

Overall Meaning

In "Be with you," JoJo sings about the difficulties of repairing broken relationships within a family. The lyrics suggest a sense of division and indecision among family members, making it challenging to mend the broken hearts. The line "I built a bridge to let through the water" metaphorically represents the singer's efforts to reconcile and move forward.


The second verse reflects feelings of loneliness and a lack of empathy throughout the years. The singer expresses a desire to improve themselves but feels that they were never given the belief or support from others. They question why they can't simply move on from the past and let it be.


The third verse touches upon the impact of words and drama in the singer's life. They indicate a desire to live life on their own terms without seeking constant approval from others. Feeling isolated and disconnected, they reflect on the fallouts and struggles they never asked for.


The final section emphasizes the strained bond between the singer and their loved ones. The "distance" and "wrongs" have caused them to lose the closeness they once shared. Despite the hardship, there is still a glimmer of hope. They long for a reunion and standing tall together again.


Overall, the song conveys a deep emotional longing for understanding, forgiveness, and a sense of belonging within a fractured family dynamic. It explores the pain of feeling alone and unrecognized, while also expressing the desire to move past the difficulties and rebuild the connections that were once strong.
