Giving Up On You
Wild Belle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Playing with fire, I don't wanna burn in flames
Quitting you is so hard, but I finally got away
You's bad boy, can't be tamed
You's bad boy and you never change
I'm not a criminal, but after all that you put me through
I wouldn't mind killing you

I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you
I gotta get away, never coming back again
I gotta get away, bullet from my loaded gun
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I gotta get away
I'm giving up on you

Now I smile so bright
You can see me from out of space, look at me shine
Baby, it's about time
I was so miserable and now I feel so alive

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
I feel alive

I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you (oh oh)
I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you (oh oh)

You's bad boy and you can't behave
You's bad boy and you never change
You's bad boy and you can't behave
You's bad bad bad bad bad boy

Tried to take it slow for the life of me
Every time you fall, you blame me for everything
I'm my own compass now
All the paths that you walk, I won't follow you down

I'm giving up on you
Loving you is drinking poison
Have no other choice
So I'm giving up on you
Loving you is drinking poison
Have no other choice

I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you
I'm giving up on you

I gotta get away, never coming back again
I gotta get away, bullet from my loaded gun
I'm giving up on you, I'm giving up on you
I gotta get away, never coming back again




I gotta get away, bullet from my loaded gun (I'm giving up on you)
I'm giving up on you, I'm giving up on you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Giving Up On You" express a relationship that has gone sour. The singer of the song has been burned many times by their partner but has been unable to leave him. She compares being with him to playing with fire, saying that she doesn't want to burn in flames. Despite how difficult it is to leave him, she finally got away from him.


The lyrics portray the subject of the song's partner as an uncontrollable "bad boy" who can't be tamed and never changes. She sings that she wouldn't mind killing him after all that he's put her through. This line is particularly striking because it seems that the singer has reached the point where she feels that her only way out is through violence. However, she also acknowledges she is not a criminal, but her partner has pushed her to the brink of possibly becoming one.


The chorus is repetitive, driving home the message that the singer is giving up on this toxic relationship. Although it is hard to do, she knows that it is necessary for her own wellbeing. The final lines of the song show that the singer has come out stronger; she is now capable of smiling brightly and feeling alive after letting go of the unhealthy relationship.

Natalie is a MONSTER, we are seeing a superstar birthed right in front of our eyes, singers like this do not come around often. Classic Rock lives on.

Marko Mäkelä

She surely is something, an eye dropping woman, but I'm very confused about her message. Those latest videos I have seen are a, let's say religious and I find it hard to catch the real flow on all this... Maybe I'm just dumb.

Sam Haron

It is such a treat to see live... amazing

Dominic Moncayo

Seguimos escuchandolo desde España!!! Esta banda es lo mejor ⚡️⚡️
