Bottle Up And Go
Mile End Lyrics

Well all the kind of things are said
Despite being told many things, the singer still hopes for a change in the addressee.

I hope that you will change some day
The singer anticipates a change in the addressee's behavior in the future.

And find you've come around my way
The singer wants the addressee to become more empathetic towards them.

But I know you never will
The artist has come to terms with the fact that the addressee will not change.

I decree this love is getting low
The artist feels that their love for the addressee is decreasing over time.

Respect for me you'll never show
The singer feels that the addressee does not treat them with enough respect.

With these things girl I know
The singer is certain that the addressee will not change despite their wishes.

You better bottle up and go
The artist advises the addressee to leave and not cause any more harm.

The way that you put me down
The addressee often belittles the artist.

Whenever my friends stand around
The addressee often puts the artist down in front of their friends.

I can't even walk to town
The singer feels ashamed to be seen with the addressee in public.

Without seeing someone frown
The artist notices disapproving looks from strangers when they are with the addressee.

At me
The disapproving looks are directed at the singer.

I can't say my finest hour
The singer is not proud of how they've acted in the past.

And explain what it's all about
The singer feels that their actions are difficult to justify.

You can bet I will not shout
The artist will not publicly proclaim their love for the addressee.

That I love you still
Despite everything, the artist still has feelings for the addressee.

It wasn't me who said we're through
The addressee was the one who ended the relationship.

I know I can't change you
The singer has come to accept that the addressee cannot be changed.

And your eye isn't true
The artist does not trust the addressee's actions or intentions.

You better bottle up and go
The artist advises the addressee once again to leave and not cause any more harm.
