Gotta Go My Own Way
Studio Allstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us
Doesn't seem right these days1
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
It's so hard to say
But I've gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay1
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my own way
Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to grey
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today
'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my way
What about us?
What about everything we've been through?
What about trust?
You know I never wanted to hurt you
And what about me?
What am I supposed to do?
I gotta leave but I'll miss you
(I'll miss you)
So, I've got to move on and be who I am
(Why do you have to go?)
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
(I'm trying to understand)
We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now
(I want you to stay)
I wanna go my own way
I've got to move on and be who I am
(What about us?)
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
(I'm trying to understand)
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
The Studio Allstars' song "Gotta Go My Own Way" is about a person who needs to break up with their partner and move on with their life. The lyrics express the singer's feelings about their current situation and their decision to leave to pursue their dreams. The singer acknowledges that the relationship is not working and that it's time to move on. They acknowledge that the decision is difficult, but necessary for their well-being.
The opening lines of the song, “I gotta say what's on my mind, something about us doesn't seem right these days,” sets the tone for the song. The singer expresses that the relationship is being put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances, and they can no longer continue to wait. There is love and trust in the relationship, but it is not enough to ignore the fact that they're growing apart.
The lyrics reflect the emotional struggle of ending a relationship, as well as the desire to pursue one's dreams. The chorus repeats the phrase “I've got to move on and be who I am, I just don't belong here, I hope you understand,” emphasizing the need for individual growth and self-expression. Though the decision to end a relationship is difficult, the song implies that it's important to do what's best for oneself.
