All those nights you weren't around
You crossed the line and now is time

In K. Michelle's song Ride Out, the lyrics tell the story of a woman who has been left hurt and disappointed by her partner's absence. The song addresses the pain and tears she has experienced in the relationship due to the partner's lack of commitment and illustrates how she is moving on from the relationship, determined to leave the past behind her.
The opening lines of the chorus are a clear indication of the pain that the woman has experienced, with the lyric "You wouldn't understand the tears I cried, all those nights you weren't around." The woman expresses how she has been pushed over the edge by her partner's lack of involvement, stating "You crossed the line and now is time all 'cause you weren't around." In the same vein, the verses of the song go on to express how her partner's lack of presence and commitment have led her to the decision to walk away from the relationship and ultimately move on with another partner. The song culminates in the repeated phrase "Ride out," a metaphorical representation of the woman's determination to leave the past behind and move on with her new partner.
