Gotta Go My Own Way
The Broadway Stars 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 days
Life keeps gettin in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
Is always rearranged
It's so hard to say
You'll be ok...
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 ok...
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
What about us?
What about everything we've been through?
What about trust?
You know I never wanted to hurt you
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 our place in this
World someday
But at least for now
I want you to stay
I gotta 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 Broadway Stars' song "Gotta Go My Own Way" speaks about the end of a relationship and the need to move on to pursue one's passions and dreams. The singer, presumably Troy's partner, acknowledges that something is wrong and that life keeps getting in the way of their plans. Despite the effort they put in, the plan always seems to get rearranged, and it's becoming difficult to see their future together. They realize that they need to do what's best for themselves and start a new chapter in their life, even if it means leaving behind everything they've been through with their partner.
The singer talks about how hard it is to leave everything behind, including the memories and all the efforts they put into the relationship. They acknowledge the pain that their partner is going through but emphasizes that they need to do what's best for themselves. The partner, on the other hand, questions the reasons for the breakup and tries to understand why the singer has to leave. The song ends with the singer saying goodbye and stating that for now, they need to go their own way.
