All This Time
Maria Mena(마리아 메나) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick yourself up, don't blame the world
So you screwed up
But you're gonna be okay
Now call your boyfriend and apologise
You pushed him pretty far away last night
He really loves you
And all this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometimes need a push
La la la la la
Think all the mean girls that pulled your hair
Are barefoot now and pregnant dear
And you write pop songs
And get to travel around the world
And all this time
Oh all this time
You have had it in you
You just sometimes need a push
La la la la la
So you've had some detours
Some stupid men
Now we know what not to do again
Besides you lucked out, finally
And all this time (all this time)
Oh all this time (all this time)
You have had it in you
You just sometimes need a push
La la la la la

Years ago, someone told me: "before you can love, you need to love yourself"
It was right🙄

A bit biased though, this surely won't apply to all the selfharming girls that fight with their boyfriends.

@FraggyTheFrag Yeah. Or risk becoming extremely depended on affirmation from your boy/girlfriend. I had that with my gf a few years back which ruined the relationship. These days I'm still working hard on learning to accept and love myself, until I do I can't have a relationship again.
