This Is On You
Maisie Peters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you're calling me drunk
And you're outside a club
And you're lonely in Soho
And you hate everyone
And you wish I was there
It's no fun going solo

Now you wanna be friends
Always sad on weekends
And I was your pick-me-up
And I would say "pick me up"
But not anymore

Who gave it all, and held you up
When nobody else gave a fuck?
Who bailed you out?
That was all me
Who was your biggest fan, and oldest friend?
Your steady hand you traded in
But still stuck around
Well that was all me
But this is on you
It's your bed babe, it's your funeral
This is on you
Did my best babe, and you threw it all
Did all I could do
And you need me now but I'm clocking out
So this is on you (ooh)
This is on you (ooh)

And I get that you're hurt
Having issues at work
Always fight with your father
But for years I was there
Had your back, it's not fair
How you took me for granted

I went down with the ship
Always your therapist
Always your good luck charm
Hanging on to your arm
But not anymore

Who gave it all, and held you up
When nobody else gave a fuck?
Who bailed you out?
That was all me
Who was your biggest fan, and oldest friend?
Your steady hand you traded in
But still stuck around
Well, that was all me
But this is on you
It's your bed babe, it's your funeral
This is on you
Did my best babe, and you threw it all
Did all I could do
And you need me now but I'm clocking out
So this is on you (ooh)
This is on you (ooh)

Who gave it all, and held you up
When nobody else gave a fuck?
Who bailed you out?
That was all me, yeah
Who was your biggest fan, and oldest friend?
Your steady hand you traded in
Still stuck around
That was all me
But this is on you
It's your bed babe, it's your funeral
This is on you
Did my best babe, and you threw it all
Did all I could do
You need me now but I'm clocking out
So this is on you (ooh)
This is on you
But this is on you
It's your bed babe, it's your funeral
This is on you
Did my best babe, and you threw it all (you threw it all)
Did all I could do
You need me now but I'm clocking out




So this is on you (ooh)
This is on you (ooh)

So you're calling me drunk
You're phoning me while intoxicated


And you're outside a club
You're standing outside a nightspot

You want me to be present with you


It's no fun going solo
Being alone is never enjoyable


Now you wanna be friends
You express a desire to maintain a friendly relationship with me


Always sad on weekends
You're regularly melancholic on the weekends


And I was your pick-me-up
I served as your psychological lift


And I would say "pick me up"
I'd request for you to reciprocate by being there for me


But not anymore
That's no longer an expectation of mine


Who gave it all, and held you up
Who put in the effort and provided emotional support


When nobody else gave a fuck?
When nobody else cared in the slightest?


Who bailed you out?
Who assisted you financially?


That was all me
I was the one who did all of these things


Who was your biggest fan, and oldest friend?

But this is on you
But the consequence for the current situation will be yours to bear


It's your bed babe, it's your funeral
You made your bed and now you must lie in it


Did my best babe, and you threw it all
I gave it my all and you undervalued and disregarded it


Did all I could do
I did everything within my power to help you

Therefore, the responsibility for the outcome falls solely on you


Who gave it all, and held you up
Who put in the effort and provided emotional support


When nobody else gave a fuck?
When nobody else cared in the slightest?

But this is on you
But the outcome is your responsibility


It's your bed babe, it's your funeral
You brought this upon yourself


Did my best babe, and you threw it all (you threw it all)
I tried my hardest and you wasted everything I gave you


Did all I could do
I did everything in my power to help you


You need me now but I'm clocking out
You require my help now, but I will no longer provide it


So this is on you (ooh)
Therefore, the responsibility for the outcome falls solely on you

Maisie this is BEAUTIFUL! A sad party girl anthem! I love the idea that no matter how you try to escape the phone calls they keep coming from everywhere. It really does feel like that when you try to cut someone toxic out of your life. They took you for granted before but now they're suddenly desperate to talk to you.
