You Don't Have To Worry
Rigmor Gustafsson Lyrics

I’m alive
I am alive and physically well.

but I’m so low
Despite being alive, I feel mentally or emotionally low.

I had hopes
I had expectations for the future.

I thought would grow
I expected these hopes to strengthen over time.

but they left me,
However, my hopes didn't come to fruition and left me feeling disappointed.

all my hopes left me
These same hopes were what left me feeling low initially.

with my ears I can hear
I am able to hear stories that others tell.

all the stories clear
These stories are understandable and clear to me.

but I won’t ask,
Despite hearing these stories, I don't want to ask questions about them.

I won’t ask at all
I am determined to not ask any questions whatsoever.

I’ll just leave now,
Instead, I will choose to walk away from the situation entirely.

before I fall
I will remove myself from this situation before I get hurt or fall deeper into my low state.

You don’t have to worry,
Addressing someone else, they don't need to concern themselves with me anymore.

I ain’t coming home
I will not be returning to the person as I once did before.

So you can do whatever now when you’re alone
They are now free to do what they please while alone, without me being present.

I don’t want to hear about
I don't want to know any details about what they do while separated from me.

what you did last night
I specifically don't want to know what they did the previous night.

there wont be no questions
I won't be asking any questions, so they don't need to worry about having to answer to me.

no more fuss or fight
This also means that there will be no more arguing or disagreements between us.

I’m alive
Repeating that I am physically living.

but feel so blue
Despite being alive, I feel sad and down.

I believed
I had faith in something or someone.

so much in you
I specifically had faith in the person I am addressing.

but you fooled me,
Unfortunately, this person tricked or deceived me.

oh how you fooled me
This deception really hurt me and was impactful.

what an actor you are,
I acknowledge that this person was skilled in deceiving me.

you could have gone far
In fact, they had so much skill they could have had success in other areas if they chose to.

but all those lies,
However, lying to me ultimately destroyed their ability to achieve success.

all of those lies
I understood that this person continued to lie to me and it was one of the reasons for my sadness.

must have been such a pressure on you
I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for them to constantly lie and live with that pressure on their conscience.

My expectations were obviously too high
Reflecting back, I understand that my expectations for this person were probably too high and not realistic.

but I’ve done what I can,
I tried my best in this situation.

and got no tricks left to try
I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. I am out of options.

You don’t have to worry,
Repeating the earlier sentiment that they don't need to concern themselves with me anymore.

now when you’re alone
This is specifically directed at when they are alone, they don't have to worry about what I do or say.

you don’t have to worry, anymore
I want to make it clear that the worrying can completely stop now, as I am not going to be present anymore.
