Eventually Lyrics
I'm an opportunity
And I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud
When I wish everybody'd just get off me
So many players
You'd think I was a board game
It's every man for themselves
There are no teammates
This life gets lonely
When everybody wants something
They'll smile up in your face
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
Surrounded by familiar faces with no name
None of them know me
Or want to share my pain
They only wish to bask in my light
Then fade away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in vain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
I drank your poison
'Cause you told me it's wine
Shame on you if you fooled me once
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
So what good am I to you
If I can't be broken
You'll get yours, yes
You'll get yours eventually
And I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud
When I wish everybody'd just get off me
So many players
You'd think I was a board game
It's every man for themselves
There are no teammates
This life gets lonely
When everybody wants something
They'll smile up in your face
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
None of them know me
Or want to share my pain
They only wish to bask in my light
Then fade away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in vain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
'Cause you told me it's wine
Shame on you if you fooled me once
Shame on me if you fooled me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
If I can't be broken
You'll get yours, yes
You'll get yours eventually

To me, it's about how shallow people can be when it comes to getting what they want from someone.
I think that she's saying about how people try to get stuff from her, because she's famous, and they think that's all that matters. They don't see who she really is deep down, and they don't try to.
I think it's also kinda about how she can be in a room full of people, and feel completely alone. How she can be talking to someone and not know whither they really like her, or they're just pretending to, just because she's famous and they think that she owes them something.
I guess it's just a thought...
if you don't understand this song, obviously you can't relate. for those who can, it makes perfect sense. it's about how fake people are. so many people are only your friend because of what they can get out of you. but their phoniness will only hurt them in the end.
"I drank your poison 'Cause you told me it's wine Shame on you if you fooled me once Shame on me if you fooled me twice"
This is the best line ever!!! I can relate to it so much!
"So what good am I to you If I can't be broken You'll get yours, yes You'll get yours eventually"
Perfect closing lines to this amazing song.
This song is about how people will use and take advantage of you. And the thing is, no matter how hurt they see you, they just don't care. She's saying that the people who do that sort of stuff are going to have karma come around and they'll get what they have coming to them.
You heard the song. What is there to say??? All of P!NK's songs are so emotional, every single one comes straight from her heart and anyone, #1 fan or stranger, should be able to see that. Her lyrics and voice are so powerful, it's hard to ignore that she's just as human as the rest of us. Sometimes I forget she's a celebrity, because hearing her songs you know in your heart she's experienced every bit of them.

she is talking about how she is vulnerable and how she opens up to several different people and it several different betray her and each other to get to her (when they say a board game with no teammates) (she is the pieces)and she is saying people are prying in her life but really dont care about what she really feels or wants...and people are secrelty betting against her love and thinking she will be nothing in love...then she says when everything settle down...

To me this song is about KARMA

Can't relate, as I'm, not popular, but I know what she's saying. "stop being a poser!"
so beautifully written
agree with everyone so far. Every single one of you.
