You Stood Up
V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I figure I'm alone now
Alienated everyone
A lot of my moves are wrong
But I didn't know you wouldn't be here to tell me
You thought three moves ahead
And all you said was remember loving me, remember letting go
So I figure I know
You stood up and stole it
Cause you never wanted me
You admit you don't feel it
But you stood up and stole it from me
Why stand up and steal it?
If you never wanted me
Admit you don't feel it
And give it all back to me

So I've guess I've got the space now
After alot of sabotage
I've got no one's ego to massage
But I didn't think that you'd be laughing somewhere
You'd already moved ahead, I lost my thread
And as for what was me, I remember letting go
So I know I don't know

You stood up and stole it
Cause you never wanted me
(You never wanted me)
You admit you don't feel it
(You admit you don't)
But you stood up and stole it from me
Why stand up and steal it?
(Why stand up and steal it?)
If you never wanted me
(If you never wanted me)
Admit you don't feel it
And give it all back to me

You stood up and stole it
(You stood up and stole it)
Cause you never wanted me
(You never wanted me)
You admit you don't feel it
(You admit you don't, you admit you don't)
But you stood up and stole it from me
(Baby, stole it from me)
Why stand up and steal it?
(Why stand up and steal it)
If you never wanted me
(You never wanted me)
Admit you don't feel it
(You admit you don't)
And give it all back to me





And give it all back to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to V's song "You Stood Up" convey a feeling of isolation and being alienated from others. V recognizes that he has made mistakes in the past, but he realizes that he doesn't have anyone to tell him when he's doing something wrong anymore. He reflects on how the person who he loved and who loved him back had always been three steps ahead, reminding him to remember the love they once shared but also urging him to let go when it was time.


V acknowledges that he has been left with a void but is confused as to why the other person would take things that they never wanted. He acknowledges the reality of the situation and pleads for that person to come back and give him what was taken from him.


The song is a beautiful and heartfelt expression of losing someone you loved and the feelings associated with it. The somber tone and the lyrics create a sense of ease for anyone who’s gone through the same struggle. The raw emotions and vivid lyrics are relatable and speak to anyone who’s yearning for someone they’ve lost.
