I Found You
Wiley Ft. Emeli Sand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises, every single vow
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
The lyrics of Wiley Ft. Emeli Sand's song, "I Found You" tells the story of a person who was once in a toxic relationship. This person remembers the days when they used to weep because of the things their partner said to them, and they couldn't sleep because of the hurt caused by their partner's broken promises and vows. However, things are different now, as the person has found someone who is better for them. The song is about the transition from heartbreak and pain to self-love and finding a better partner.
The lyrics also touch on the concept of karma, as the person who was once hurt by their partner is now watching their former partner experience the same emotions they once did. The lines "I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me" and "Every road has a turning, that's one thing you're learning" demonstrate this concept of karma, where actions have consequences, and what goes around comes back around.
Overall, the song's lyrics are about growth, healing, and moving on from toxic relationships. It encourages listeners to believe that there is always a better future waiting for them and that they don't have to settle for less than they deserve in a relationship.

I remember other days how I used to weep
I think back on the past when I used to cry
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
I couldn't sleep because your words hurt me so much
You forgot your promises, every single vow
You broke all the promises and vows you made to me
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now
You used to laugh at me, but now the situation has changed
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
I once cried for you, but now it's your turn to feel that same pain
Every road has a turning
Life always presents different paths and opportunities
That's one thing you're learning
And you are just starting to realize that
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
I was foolish to have cried for you in the past
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
Now I have found someone with more beautiful eyes than yours
I found a heart just a little bit truer
And I found someone with a more sincere heart than you
How can I forget the hours that I worried through
I can't forget the countless hours I spent worrying about you
Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?
Wondering all day long what I should do next
In those days you never thought anything of me
Back then, you didn't value me or my feelings
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
But now I am no longer under your control, I have freed myself
