Broken In
Embracing Life's Scars: "Broken In" by Ben Wagner Explained
Lyrics
You've been worn, you've been used
You've experienced wear and tear, possibly from life's challenges.
Walked upon and bruised
You've been treated roughly, stepped on, and emotionally hurt.
Stretched out like a sweatshirt and you're favorite leather shoes
You've endured hardships, symbolized by being stretched like a sweatshirt and favorite leather shoes.
He left and you stayed
Your partner left, but you remained.
He tore and you frayed
Your emotions were damaged, and you needed time to heal.
And you took some days to sew and mend the new love that you gave
You took time to repair and nurture the new love you gave.
But it looks better that way
Despite the challenges, the love looks better after overcoming difficulties.
So show it off and don't hide it away
Encouraging to proudly display the mended love and not hide it.
That hearts too good to keep it in
Expressing that a valuable heart shouldn't be kept hidden.
That love, it ain't broken babe
The love isn't broken; it's still intact.
It ain't broken it's just broken in
Reiterating that love isn't broken but has been seasoned through experience.
So you're first love wasn't perfect
Acknowledging that the first love wasn't perfect.
And neither was your second
Highlighting imperfections in subsequent relationships and the lessons learned.
But you got stories to tell and lots of lessons not to mention
Emphasizing the richness of experiences and the wisdom gained.
Old pictures, Aged liquor
Mentioning memories represented by old pictures and aged liquor.
Vinyl records and ripped jeans
Symbolizing nostalgia through vinyl records and ripped jeans.
People wanna see the things that have seen some things
People are interested in things that have endured challenges.
So baby take that thing
Encouraging to proudly showcase experiences and scars.
And show it off and don't hide it away,
Reiterating the value of displaying a resilient heart.
That hearts too good to keep it in
Restating that love is too precious to be kept hidden.
That love, it ain't broken babe
Affirming that love remains intact despite challenges.
It ain't broken it's just broken in
Reiterating that love has been seasoned and strengthened through experiences.
You can try to bend it
Suggesting the resilience of love even when tested or bent.
Try to beat it black and blue
Acknowledging that love may endure hardships but remains strong.
But it's made out of the tough stuff
Emphasizing the enduring and robust nature of love.
It can take a scar or two
Implying that love can withstand scars and challenges.
So show it off and don't hide it away,
Encouraging to proudly display the enduring nature of love.
Baby, grab those shoes we're goin dancin'
Inviting to celebrate and enjoy life, despite its challenges.
That love, it ain't broken babe
Reiterating that love is not broken but seasoned.
It ain't broken its just broken in
Affirming the enduring and strengthened quality of love.
You ain't broken you're just broken in
Asserting that individuals are not broken but have gained resilience through experiences.
