I'll Be Fine
The Ben Taylor Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every day theres something new for me to believe
there is so much more to me then you could ever dream
I can read you even if my eyes are closed
Please don't lead me around in these circles no more
(Just) tell me that you want to go
Stop promising that you'll never leave me alone
I'll be fine without you
I don't mind about you
Only let me be alone
Don't keep calling me trying to make it all ight
You're the only love I've ever known
But I won't allow you to haunt me the rest of my life
Now you're gone
I'll be fine without you
I don't mind about you
I'll get by without you
Somewhere close along the road
You'll be part of my wonder wherever I go
Cause it's impossible to shake you from my soul
Just sing this song while your wandering
And if you never come home
Then never come home
While your gone
I'll be fine without you
I don't mind about you
I'll be fine without you
I'll get by without you
In the first verse of I'll Be Fine, the Ben Taylor Band talks about being on their own, something they were no stranger to in the past. They say that every day brings something new for them to have faith in themselves about because there is so much more to them than others may realize. The second verse seems to be directed towards a person who has led them around in circles, saying they can read this person even when they have their eyes closed, and asking them to stop making empty promises about never leaving them alone. The chorus repeats the idea that they will be fine and can get by without this person in their life.
In the second verse, they plead for that person to allow them to be alone and not try to make everything alright by constantly calling. They acknowledge that this person is the only love they have ever known, but even so, they cannot allow themselves to be haunted by them for the rest of their life. In the bridge, they acknowledge that this person will always be a part of who they are, impossible to shake from their soul. They suggest that this person can sing this song while they wander and, if they never come home, that is fine too. The chorus again repeats that they will be fine without them.
This song seems to be about moving on from a person who has made empty promises and led the singer around in circles. It acknowledges that the person will always be a part of who they are, but that they cannot let this person hold them back any longer. It is a song of freedom and self-reliance, saying that they can believe in themselves and move forward without this person weighing them down.
