Lyrics
Some of the tears dry and then I
Expresses the gradual healing of emotional pain or hardship.
Barely get by, barely get by
Repetition emphasizes the struggle to cope and survive.
Don't have a reason so I
Lack of a clear purpose or motivation for overcoming difficulties.
Barely get by, barely get by
Continued difficulty in managing life's challenges.
It's changin' seasons and I
Reference to the passage of time and life's inevitable changes.
Barely get by, barely get by
Continued struggle to endure and make progress.
I keep fearin' the same old things
Persistent fear of recurring issues or problems.
I barely get by, barely get by
Highlighting the ongoing difficulty in coping with fears.
Barely get by
Reiteration of the challenging nature of getting through life.
Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Everybody's leaving and I
Feeling abandoned or isolated as others depart.
Barely get by, barely get by
Struggling emotionally while just managing to survive.
And I'm left grievin' while I
Grieving over losses and hardships.
Barely get by, barely get by
Continuing to barely cope with challenges.
I know I need to do more than
Acknowledging the need for more proactive actions.
Barely get by, barely get by
Despite the recognition, still barely managing to get through.
I just seem to do the same old things
Frustration with repeating the same unproductive patterns.
I barely get by, barely get by
Struggling to break free from repetitive behaviors.
Barely get by
Emphasizing the continuous challenge of just getting by.
Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Looks like I'm succeeding but I
Appearing successful externally but still struggling internally.
Barely get by, barely get by
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle despite external appearances.
And I keep singin' how I
Expressing the difficulty through vocal expression (singing).
Barely get by, barely get by
Continuing to barely manage and survive.
I know I need to do more than
Recognition of the need for substantial changes.
Barely get by, barely get by
Despite awareness, still struggling with minimal progress.
But I just seem to do the same old things
Frustration with repeating unproductive actions.
I barely get by, barely get by
Continuing to barely get by due to unchanging behaviors.
Barely get by
Repeating the theme of barely managing to get through life.
Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Barely get by
Emphasizing the persistent struggle and difficulty in coping.
Barely get by
-Barely get by
-Barely get by
