Aftershock
Surviving Emotional Shocks: Aftershocks of Betrayal
Lyrics
The jolt I felt
The sudden impact I experienced
Like nothing else surprised me
Surprised in a way unlike anything else
I didn't see it coming my way
I did not anticipate it coming towards me
Your words cut deep
Your words were emotionally cutting
knocked off my feet blind sided
Knocked me off balance and caught me off guard
I just could not believe
I couldn't believe what had happened
I was almost traumatized
I was deeply affected, nearly traumatized
And my world was turned upside down
My world was drastically changed
You were detached and denied
You were distant and refused to acknowledge
That you had done a thing to try and take me down
You denied doing anything to harm me
During the aftershocks I thought would never stop
Amid the ongoing emotional turmoil
I found a solid rock and I'm standing
I found stability and strength
So many aftershocks devastating knocks
Numerous devastating setbacks
The tensions been unlocked and I'm landing
Tensions have been released, and I'm finding my footing
During the aftershocks
felt like they'd never stop
The aftershocks seemed unending
I held on to the rock without handing my heart over to you
I clung to stability without surrendering my heart to you
The story goes
The narrative unfolds
As Joseph knows
Similar to Joseph's experiences
It's lonely when you feel betrayed
Loneliness accompanies the feeling of betrayal
But in the end
Eventually, he found joy and a true friend
He found a friend and joy
Something unchangeable and constant
No one could ever change
I've got a new state of mind
I've adopted a new perspective
And a soul that's completely renewed
A transformed and rejuvenated soul
Love patience and always be kind
Advocating love, patience, and kindness
And reflect those thoughts on you
Reflecting these qualities onto others
During the aftershocks I thought would never stop
Amid ongoing emotional aftershocks
I found a solid rock and I'm standing
I found stability and stood firm
So many aftershocks devastating knocks
Despite numerous setbacks, I'm finding my balance
The tensions been unlocked and I'm landing
Tensions have been released, and I'm finding my footing
During the aftershocks
felt like they'd never stop
The emotional aftershocks felt never-ending
I held on to the rock without handing my heart over to you
I held onto stability without surrendering my heart to you
