Go your own way

Jacqui - 100311

Never really listened to the lyrics of this song until recently. I thought it was about freedom and being yourself from the catchy chorus and I was wrong. For me it is about two sides of a relationship. The singer is saying how she/he loves someone deeply and has done so much to make it work, but realizes that the receiver of the song needs to move on since it isn't working. I've been on both ends of this song. I've been the one who has tried everything and realized it didn't work. It is easy to play the victim role though and see myself as the good guy.

After listening to this more, I've realized I've also been the person being sung to. I've taken advantage of the relationship and never really cared for the other person as much as that person cared for me. Hard revelation to realize I've been the asshole too.

Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

Loving you isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could, maybe I'd give you my world
How can I, when you won't take it from me?
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way
Tell me why everything turned around?
Packing up, shacking up, is all you wanna do
If I could baby I'd give you my world
Open up, everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day (Another lonely day)
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way.
