Q&A
You Won Lyrics
There was a world outside my door
I wasn't in touch with anymore
There was a way I used to feel
I knew what was and wasn't real
You built a bridge, I tore it down
I felt safe on shaky ground
And I was a master of despair
Making believe I didn't care
Chorus:
I shouldn't be standing here today
After all the crazy things I've done
I'm ready to fall and thats ok
I ran as far as I could run
You won
Out of a world turned upside down
It took some time to come around
Out of a dream you made me whole
You lit a fire down down in my soul
(Repeat Chorus twice)
and you won
I thought I knew what I was doing
I thought I was in control
I thought nobody could slow me down
But what did I know
I was just a kid, a motherless child
No one to watch over me I was runnin' wild
free of all responsibility 'til my life
And my love for myself caught up with me
Yeah, it caught up with me
and now I'm, yes I am
So Ready
I wasn't in touch with anymore
There was a way I used to feel
I knew what was and wasn't real
I felt safe on shaky ground
And I was a master of despair
Making believe I didn't care
I shouldn't be standing here today
After all the crazy things I've done
I'm ready to fall and thats ok
I ran as far as I could run
You won
It took some time to come around
Out of a dream you made me whole
You lit a fire down down in my soul
and you won
I thought I was in control
I thought nobody could slow me down
But what did I know
I was just a kid, a motherless child
No one to watch over me I was runnin' wild
free of all responsibility 'til my life
And my love for myself caught up with me
Yeah, it caught up with me
and now I'm, yes I am
So Ready

this song is about his drug addiction/depression and comming out of it. He's talking about how the 'girl' has helped him realize he'd rather be alive and sober.
Keith urban quote."It's definitely an addiction song. 'You Won' refers to when you finally give in and stop trying to run everywhere and thinking you can handle everything. It really refers to just giving it up, 'All right, Higher Power or whatever you are, you won. I quit, I give up. I can't beat myself up anymore.' I am really proud of that song."..this is the real meaning.
