It's About You
Resilience in Love's Storm: A Song of Redemption by Bleu Edmondson
Lyrics
I sat down last week
Reflecting on the past week
To write a song about love
Intent to write a love song
Something to make young lovers cry
Desire to create an emotional song for lovers
But I was lost in doubt
Feeling uncertain and hesitant
I'd never had what I was writing about
Lack of personal experience with the theme of the song
So I took one year ago and wrote a song about why
Choosing to write about a past experience instead
And it's about you, you
Revealing the song is about someone specific
The things you made me do
Highlighting the impact of the person's influence
And how you turned and walked away
Blank line, setting a pause or transition
Yeah it's about you and the things you put me through
Referring to the specific actions causing pain
And how I'm doing alright today
Blank line, setting a pause or transition
Now the rain was pouring down
Setting a scene with rain symbolizing hardship
When you put me on the ground
Highlighting the emotional impact of the fall
And I stayed down for a long, long time
Describing a prolonged period of emotional struggle
Now I hear your broke and your man's a dirty joke
Learning about the person's misfortune
The kind of news that makes me smile
Emphasizing a positive reaction to the person's downfall
And it's about you, you
Reiterating the focus on the specific person
The things you made me do
Highlighting the impact of the person's influence
And how you turned and walked away
Blank line, setting a pause or transition
Yeah it's about you and the things you put me through
Referring to the specific actions causing pain
And how I'm doing alright today
Blank line, setting a pause or transition
