It's On You
Megan Rochell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before your life with me was simple
But it's been crazy for a while
Now it if wasn't for your ego
We wouldn't be doin' this here right now
To busy frontin' for you people
That's exactly what I'm talkin' bout
Boy how am I suppose to be your equal
hook:
What if, what if I started lyin'
And stopped apologizin'
What if I, I flipped the script
And acted just like you
Be no apologizin'
We never stopped the fightin'
Now it's your chance to walk up in my shoes
chorus:
I'm leavin' this one up to you
Tellin' you that this one, it's on you
Lately we've been just gettin' by
And lately I'm the only one tryin'
Cuz the last time it was me
And the first time it was me
Damn, I'm feelin' like it's always me
If you ain't gon' make this thing work
Then why don't you just say it's over
This ones on you
verse2:
Tell me who's the one who listens
Everytime you got somethin' to say
And tell me who's the one who's givin'
But never gettin' it the same
Back then I must've been just trippin'
Was thinkin' maybe you was gonna change
Another day & nothings different
Can't keep goin' on this way
hook:
What if, what if I started lyin'
And stopped apologizin'
I flipped the script
And acted just like you
Be no apologizin'
We never stopped the fightin'
Now it's your chance to walk up in my shoes
chorus:
I'm leavin' this one up to you
Tellin' you that this one, it's on you
Lately we've been just gettin' by
And lately I'm the only one tryin'
Cuz the last time it was me
And the first time it was me
Damn, I'm feelin' like it's always me
If you ain't gon' make this thing work
Then why don't you just say it's over
This ones on you
verse3:
2 years, since we got together boy
It's been 2 years, & things ain't got no better boy
I can't take it no more
Won't play it off like everythings okay
Now sorry ain't gon' cut it
It's not gon' be enough
Cuz we keep goin' through the same thing
Yeah, I love you but I,
I can't keep drivin' if it's only gonna go one way
chorus:
I'm leavin' this one up to you
Tellin' you that this one, it's on you
Lately we've been just gettin' by
And lately I'm the only one tryin'
Cuz the last time it was me
And the first time it was me
Damn, I'm feelin' like it's always me
If you ain't gon' make this thing work
Then why don't you just say it's over
This ones on you
bridge:
Cuz I gave it to you on my first one
It's on you
And I've put of with all the shit you've done
It's on you
And every argument you make it my fault
And every argument you never got caught
It's on you
Cuz I gave it to you on my first one
It's on you
And I've put of with all the shit you've done
It's on you
And every argument you make it my fault
Like and every argument you never got caught
It's on you
The song “It’s On You” by Megan Rochell is about a relationship that has turned sour due to the male partner’s ego and attitude towards his significant other. The female partner feels like she is constantly putting in effort to make the relationship work, while the male partner takes her for granted, constantly talks down to her, and does not take responsibility for the problems in the relationship. She questions what would happen if she started acting like him, stopped apologizing and started lying, and asks him to put himself in her shoes for once. The female partner feels like she has done all she can to make the relationship work and is now leaving the fate of the relationship up to the male partner.
The chorus, “I’m leaving this one up to you, telling you that this one, it’s on you. Lately, we’ve just been getting by, and lately, I’m the only one trying…This one’s on you…” portrays the female partner finally standing up for herself and giving the male partner an ultimatum to either step up and start putting in effort to fix the relationship or accept that it is time to move on.
Overall, the song delivers a strong message about the importance of mutual effort and understanding in a relationship. A partnership only works when both parties are committed and willing to put in the necessary work to make it successful.
Line by Line Meaning
Before your life with me was simple
You didn't have any problems before we started dating
But it's been crazy for a while
Our relationship has been difficult and tumultuous lately
Now it if wasn't for your ego
Our problems are because of your inflated sense of self-importance
We wouldn't be doin' this here right now
We wouldn't be fighting and arguing if you weren't so arrogant
To busy frontin' for you people
You're too concerned with impressing others
That's exactly what I'm talkin' bout
That's the root of our issues
Boy how am I suppose to be your equal
I can't be your partner when you constantly talk down to me
When you be steady talkin' down
You're always belittling me
What if, what if I started lyin'
What if I stopped being honest with you
And stopped apologizin'
What if I stopped saying sorry even when I did nothing wrong
What if I, I flipped the script
What if I acted the way you do
And acted just like you
What if I became arrogant and argumentative
Be no apologizin'
There would be no more apologies
We never stopped the fightin'
We would continue to argue
Now it's your chance to walk up in my shoes
Now it's your turn to experience how I feel
I'm leavin' this one up to you
It's your decision to make
Tellin' you that this one, it's on you
You're responsible for fixing our relationship
Lately we've been just gettin' by
Our relationship has been mediocre at best
And lately I'm the only one tryin'
I'm the only one putting in effort to make things better
Cuz the last time it was me
The last argument was my fault
And the first time it was me
The first argument was also my fault
Damn, I'm feelin' like it's always me
I'm constantly taking the blame
If you ain't gon' make this thing work
If you're not going to put in any effort to improve our relationship
Then why don't you just say it's over
You should just end things if you're not committed to making it work
Tell me who's the one who listens
I'm always there to listen to you
Everytime you got somethin' to say
Whenever you need to vent or talk about something
Tell me who's the one who's givin'
I'm always the one giving in or compromising
But never gettin' it the same
But I never receive the same treatment from you
Back then I must've been just trippin'
I must have been mistaken or naive in the past
Was thinkin' maybe you was gonna change
I believed that you would change for the better
Another day & nothings different
But nothing has changed and the problems persist
Can't keep goin' on this way
We can't continue with our relationship like this
2 years, since we got together boy
It's been two years since we started dating
It's been 2 years, & things ain't got no better boy
But things haven't improved since then
I can't take it no more
I can't tolerate our problems and fighting anymore
Won't play it off like everythings okay
I won't pretend that everything is alright
Now sorry ain't gon' cut it
An apology won't be enough to fix our problems
It's not gon' be enough
We need to do more to improve our relationship
Yeah, I love you but I,
I still love you, but
I can't keep drivin' if it's only gonna go one way
I can't continue putting in all the effort if you're not willing to do the same
Cuz I gave it to you on my first one
I gave you my all from the beginning
And I've put of with all the shit you've done
And I've put up with all the bad things you've done
And every argument you make it my fault
And you always blame me for every argument
And every argument you never got caught
And you never take responsibility for your actions
