Discover the story of the song > Gotta Go My Own Way – Gabriella

The protagonist is feeling like something is wrong in the relationship and that life keeps getting in the way of their plans. They feel like they don't belong and need to do what's best for themselves. They hope that someday they'll find their place in the world, but for now, they have to go their own way.
In these lyrics, the protagonist is realizing that no matter how much they give, it's not enough for their partner. They feel like they've been taken for granted and it's time for them to move on. They are leaving the relationship and going into a new chapter of their life where they won't be seen anymore.
Despite losing a lot in the relationship, the protagonist is okay with it because now they know what it's like. They believe that just because the relationship is over doesn't mean they can't still be successful. They know the time will pass and things will change, but they also know that it won't be the same as it was before. They understand that their partner wanted a fairytale ending, but they are letting go of that idea and moving on to a different life.
