[Sabrina Carpenter:]
I’m sorry but
Don’t wanna talk
I need a moment before I go
It’s nothing personal
I draw the blinds
They don’t need to see me cry
‘Cause even if they understand
They don’t understand
So then when I’m finished
I’m all ’bout my business
And ready to save the world
I’m taking my misery
Make it my bitch
Can’t be everyone’s favorite girl
So take aim and fire away
I’ve never been so wide awake
No, nobody but me can keep me safe
And I’m on my way
The blood moon is on the rise
The fire burning in my eyes
No, nobody but me can keep me safe
And I’m on my way
[Farruko:]
(Ya, ya)
(Farru, yeah, guaya)
Lo siento mucho (Farru), pero me voy (Eh)
Porque a tu lado me di cuenta que nada soy (Eh-ey)
Y me cansé de luchar y de guerrear en vano
De estar en la línea de fuego y de meter la mano
Acepto mis errore’, también soy humano
Y tú no ve’ que lo hago porque te amo (Pum-pum-pum-pum)
Pero ya (Ya) no tengo más na’ que hacer aquí (Aquí)
Me voy, llegó la hora ‘e partir (Partir)
De mi propio camino, seguir lejos de ti
[Sabrina Carpenter:]
So take aim and fire away
I’ve never been so wide awake
No, nobody but me can keep me safe
And I’m on my way
The blood moon is on the rise (Is on the rise, na-na)
The fire burning in my eyes (The fire burning in my eyes)
No, nobody but me can keep me safe
And I’m on my way
[Farruko:]
(I’m on my way)
[Sabrina Carpenter:]
Everybody, everybody keep me safe
Everybody, everybody keep me safe
Everybody, everybody keep me safe
Everybody, everybody keep me safe
Everybody, everybody on my way
So take aim and fire away
I’ve never been so wide awake
No, nobody but me can keep me safe
And I’m on my way
The blood moon is on the rise
The fire burning in my eyes
No, nobody but me can keep me safe
And I’m on my way
Embracing Independence and Transformation
“On My Way” by Sabrina Carpenter is a powerful anthem about self-realization and the courage to move forward, even when it means leaving someone or something behind. The lyrics express the need for personal space and growth, a departure from situations that no longer serve the protagonist. Carpenter’s verse emphasizes emotional boundaries and the importance of being true to oneself, while Farruko’s bilingual contribution adds a layer of vulnerability and acceptance of past mistakes. The recurring line, “No, nobody but me can keep me safe,” captures the song’s core message: ultimate responsibility for one’s happiness lies within.
