Lyrics
Emotional Punching Bag
Expressing being a receptacle for emotional pain or turmoil
So you think I will pack up and go
Anticipating departure, but prefers involvement despite challenges
But I just like being part of the show
Enjoys participation in the dramatic aspects of the situation
So when you’re knocked out and hang on the ropes
When someone is nearly defeated but still has energy
But you still got some steam left to blow
Despite being exhausted, there's remaining strength to express
Just take a swing at me
Inviting to express anger or emotions freely
Open your heart you’ll see
Encouraging openness to reveal true feelings
I’m your emotional punching bag
Characterizing oneself as a receptacle for emotional outbursts
So just take a swing at me
Reiteration of being available for emotional release
I’ll turn the other cheek
Willingness to forgive and endure further emotional pain
Cause I’ll keep any secret you keep
Offering to keep shared secrets confidential
Just take a swing at me
Reaffirmation of readiness for emotional impact
Open your heart you’ll see
Encouraging vulnerability to understand one's true feelings
I’m your emotional punching bag
Restating the willingness to absorb emotional distress
So just take a swing at me
Reiteration of being a receptacle for emotional release
You won’t have to carry those feelings alone
Offering support and alleviation of emotional burden
You don't have to worry cause I’ll be your home
Promising to be a source of comfort and security
There’s nothing I’d rather do than stand next to you
Expressing willingness to stand by someone's side
You won’t have to carry those feelings alone
Reassuring someone of not being alone in their emotional struggles
