Breaking the Cycle: Healing from Generational Pain
Lyrics
I know this didn't just start with you
I acknowledge that the issues didn't originate solely from you.
Don't think you've ever thought it all through
Suggesting a lack of thorough reflection on your actions.
Runs in the family, it's true
Implying a generational pattern of causing harm within the family.
Hurt people, hurt people
Expressing the idea that those who are hurt often end up hurting others.
We repeat what we don't repair
Highlighting the tendency to replicate negative behaviors if not addressed.
And carry on, just unaware
Suggesting a continuation of destructive patterns without awareness.
Leave a gap when you should be there, yeah
Pointing out the absence or emotional distance when support is needed.
Oh, break the loop, break the cycle Oh, break the loop, break the cycle
Encouraging a break in the harmful cycle and pattern of behavior.
It stops with me. It stops with me
Declaring a personal commitment to end the cycle of hurt.
I need the parent you didn't have
Expressing a need for a positive parental influence that was lacking.
Not reflect, reject this circle of sad
Rejecting the negative emotional patterns inherited from the family.
Can't give what you've never had
Stating the difficulty in giving positive emotions if never received.
Hurt people, hurt people
Reiterating the concept that those who are hurt often inflict pain on others.
We repeat what we don't repair
Emphasizing the repetition of negative behaviors without resolution.
And carry on, just unaware
Continuation of carrying on negative patterns unconsciously.
Leave a gap when you should be there
Highlighting the absence when emotional support is needed.
Oh, break the loop, break the cycle Oh, break the loop, break the cycle
Encouraging a break in the harmful cycle and pattern of behavior (repeated).
It stops with me It stops with me
Reaffirming the personal commitment to end the cycle of hurt (repeated).
Oh, break the loop, break the cycle Oh, break the loop, break the cycle
Repetition of the encouragement to break the harmful cycle.
Oh, break the loop, break the cycle Oh, break the loop, break the cycle
Continued emphasis on the need to break the destructive cycle.
