Don't Let It Get To You
Rostam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if you don't realize it
It's still all up to you
Even if you don't, even if you don't realize it
It's still all up to you
I want to, even when it don't make sense, even when it don't make sense
Actually I want to more when you don't make sense
I know that you won't realize it, but it's still all up to you
I know that you won't, I know that you won't realize it
But it's still all up to you
You're not gonna get it exactly how you want it
But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try, no
And it's not gonna feel the way that you expected
And it's going to hurt to figure it out, yeah
But if you're patient
And you're kind
I don't know why
It's no fun
And how come
I still think of you now
Please, don't let it get to you
Even if you don't realize it
It's still all up to you
Even if you don't, even if you don't realize it
It's still all up to you

Even when you don't believe in yourself and virtually POSITIVE your screwed and HELPLESS.
Rostam says I don't care! I believe in you! This too will pass! Even if you can't change the objective situation: Rostam says Good wins in the end! And wallowing as a agent-less victim won't do you any good. Realize you still get to decide how you react when life throws. You CURVE balls... ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐๐
