P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think, that it's better
To never ask why
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Ever worried that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry
When you're out there
Doin' what you're doin'
Are you just getting by
Tell me, are you just getting by by by
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try

She acknowledges that where there is desire, there will eventually be a flame, and someone is bound to get hurt. But just because it hurts, it doesn't mean that it's the end. We must get up and try again.
The chorus, "You gotta get up and try try try" reinforces the message of perseverance and resilience, even in the face of heartbreak. P!nk then goes on to question the nature of love, wondering why we fall in love so easily even when it's not right. She concludes with the idea that even when things seem hopeless and we feel like we're just getting by, we must keep trying and never give up.
