The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Giving Up on You" by the artist "Wild Belle"

In Wild Belle's song "Giving Up on You," the lyrical heroine sings about a painful but necessary break-up with a "bad boy."

She confesses that she was "playing with fire" and almost "burned in his flames." The relationship is hurting her, and she decides to take a desperate step to save herself. Despite the difficulty of leaving ("Hard to leave you behind"), the heroine realizes that this man is incorrigible ("You're a bad boy and you'll never change").

The image of a "bullet from a loaded gun" conveys the swiftness and determination of the heroine. She is no longer willing to endure humiliation and pain.

The phrase "I'm giving up on you" is repeated in the chorus and verses, emphasizing the steadfastness of her decision. She is literally ripping this man out of her heart and mind.

Freed from the toxic relationship, the heroine flourishes. Her smile "shines from space," she feels "alive" and ready for a new life. The farewell, repeated three times at the end of the song, sounds like a hymn to liberation and new hope.

Playing with fire, I don't wanna burn in flames

Quitting you is so hard, but I finally got away

You's bad boy, can't be tamed

You's bad boy and you never change

I'm not a criminal, but after all that you put me through

I wouldn't mind killing you

I'm giving up on you

I'm giving up on you

I'm giving up on you

I gotta get away,

Never coming back again

I gotta get away,

Bullet from my loaded gun

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I gotta get away

I'm giving up on you

Now I smile so bright

You can see me from out of space,

Look at me shine

Baby, it's about time

I was so miserable

And now I feel so alive

Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

I feel alive

I'm giving up on you [x4]

You's bad boy and you can't behave

You's bad boy and you never change

You's bad boy and you can't behave

You's bad bad bad bad bad boy

Tried to take it slow for the life of me

Every time you fall, you blame me for everything

I'm my own compass now

All the paths that you walk, I won't follow you down

I'm giving up on you

Loving you is drinking poison

Have no other choice

So I'm giving up on you

Loving you is drinking poison

Have no other choice

I'm giving up on you [x4]

[2x:]

I gotta get away,

Never coming back again

I gotta get away,

Bullet from my loaded gun

I'm giving up on you

I'm giving up on you
