You Go Your Way Lyrics – Perrie

You Go Your Way Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro suggests the couple has decided to part ways. They try to reassure themselves that everything will be fine, but there’s a sense of uncertainty beneath the repetition of “okay.”

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the couple is driving home together, but there’s a growing emotional distance between them. The singer wants the other person to speak first, hoping for some clarity or resolution, but doesn’t quite know how to express what they need to hear.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the idea that they are going their separate ways, almost like a mantra to convince themselves they will be okay. However, the repetition of “okay” feels more like an attempt to cover up the fear and sadness they both feel.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the partner tries to speak but can only manage a small joke, perhaps to break the tension. It lightens the moment, and the singer imagines that in the future, they’ll be able to look back on this painful time and laugh about it, even though it’s hard now.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats again, but this time, the singer admits to being scared about the breakup, revealing the vulnerability hidden behind the earlier reassurances. They’re trying to maintain composure, but fear and uncertainty are still present.

[Post-Chorus]
Here, the singer begins to embrace the idea of moving on, though it’s a struggle. They encourage the other person to do the same, even though it’s painful to acknowledge. They want their ex to “get over” them, but it’s clear that letting go is hard.

[Verse 3]
The singer questions whether they’ll ever meet again, hinting at lingering feelings of doubt. They worry that if they don’t address the breakup now, it will become even harder once they arrive home, suggesting the weight of what’s unsaid between them.

[Chorus]
This chorus becomes more emotional as the singer admits they’re not okay, despite their earlier attempts to seem strong. The repetition of “okay” now feels more like a way to cope with the overwhelming feelings of loss.

[Post-Chorus]
The singer continues to push for both of them to move on, even though it’s a struggle. They’re trying to find their own way after the relationship ends. There’s still hesitation, and it’s clear that moving forward isn’t easy, but it’s necessary.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, the singer envisions themselves smiling and looking back on this breakup in a more positive light years later, despite the current sadness. It’s a way to find hope and perspective in the middle of the pain.

[Chorus]
The final chorus repeats the theme of going separate ways, but now there’s a slightly more resigned tone. The singer acknowledges that they will eventually be okay, but the repetition of “okay” still carries the emotional weight of their current struggle to move on. They’re clinging to the hope that, despite the pain now, they’ll both be alright in the end.
