Fearless

Colbie Caillat

If that's the way you love
You've got to learn so much
If that's the way you say goodbye

And this is how it ends
And I'm alright within
Never going to see me cry
Cause I've cried

So go on, go on and break my heart
I'll be okay
There's nothing you can do to me
That's ever going to burn me

So go on, go on and leave my love
Out on the street
I'm fearless
Better believe I'm fearless, fearless

So oh woh oh woh oh

If this is how it hurts
It couldn't get much worse
If this is how it feels to fall

Then that's the way it is
We live with what we miss
We learn to build another wall
Till it falls

So go on, go on and break my heart
I'll be okay
There's nothing you can do to me
That's ever going to burn me

So go on, go on and leave my love
Out on the street
I'm fearless
Better believe I'm fearless, fearless

So oh woh oh woh

If it's between love and losing
To never have known the feeling
And I still side with love

And if I end up lonely
At least I will be there knowing
I believe in love

Go on, go on break my heart
I'll be okay
I'm fearless
Better believe I'm fearless, fearless

Go on, go on and break my heart
I'll be okay
There's nothing you can do to me
That's ever going to burn me

So go on, go on and leave my love
Out on the street
I'm fearless
Better believe I'm fearless

So oh woh oh

So go on and leave my love
Go on and leave my love
Go on and leave my love
Better believe I'm fearless, fearless
Fearless

    its about a person leaving so abruptly from the relationship so than she sayin "go on and break my heart i'll be okay there's nothing you can do to me that's ever gonna bury me" like she isn't gonna stop the person from leaving and its not gonna break her. she completely fearless of feeling pain

    throughout her journey with this person she comes to grip that even if she is hurting she wouldn't change anything that happened because has discovered LOVE. thats the most important thing

    this is just my opinion

    this song is soo beautiful. i have recently become a huge fan of Colbie, and this is one of my favorites of hers.

    i think it's about a girl who is really hurt because the one she loves has just ended the relationship, but she also realizes that there is someone out there that is better for her, and that just because one relationship ended it's not the end of the world. it's going to take a lot of time, but she'll be ok.

    amazing song<3

    I guess this is a song about a guy who's leaving the girl. I reckon the guy didn't treat the girl like how usual couples would do. He ended the relationship so abruptly leaving the girl in tears.

    But she's on the verge of recovering from her heartache because she's fearless, she isn't afraid of anything. She hasn't lost her faith in love because she knows love exists.

    She's sure one day she'll find her true love and also that she will still stand firm even if te guy leaves her because there's nothing he can do to her that'll break her down.

    she's basically telling him at the beginning of the song if that's how he loves, he has so much to learn.. because he probably treated her bad. she wouldn't have taken any of their relationship back.her hearts broken.

    Great song. I agree, it's obviously about a break up. But its almost like she realizes that he isn't worth it and that it will just take her some time to get over him. She realizes that he didn't treat her right and she's moving on and going to be stronger when she gets through it.

    This is such a great song. I can really relate to it. The guy I was seeing just disappeared on me. No explanation or anything. Colbie Caillat's songs have helped me in so many ways!

    I believe that the person she was with treated her very badly, then up and left her, and she's explaining that she'll be okay, nothing is going to break her because she's fearless. its about moving on and dealing with the heartache for a long time to come, but she'll be ok. then finally when she finds someone else, shes explaining that you "build another wall" but it will fall eventually to another heartbreak. but she wont give up on love because she felt it at one point, she knows its real, so shed rather feel it then never knew it existed.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
