The tenth track on Pink’s sophomore album, “Eventually” is a song about heartbreak. This soulful ballad tells a tale of people (and men) that hang around acting like they’re her friend but when she needs them, they’re not there; causing karma to come back around to them eventually.
[Verse 1]
I'm an opportunity and I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just get off me
So many playas, you'd think I was a ball game
It's every man for themself, there are no teammates, oh
This life gets lonely
When everybody wants something
They'll smile up in your face
[Chorus]
But they'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
[Verse 2]
Surrounded by familiar faces without names
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
[Chorus]
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
[Outro]
So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?
You'll get yours, yes, you'll get yours
