Ain't Killed Me Yet
Surviving Heartbreak: Embracing Life Beyond Pain
Lyrics
Workin' all this overtime
Working overtime to stay occupied
Is good at keepin' me occupied
Occupation as a distraction from stress
Hell with the stress
Rejecting stress despite its challenges
It ain't killed me yet
Surviving challenges and stress
Doctor says I gotta quit
Doctor's advice to quit and address health issues
Get on the wagon and off of them damn cigarettes
Struggling with quitting cigarettes
But they ain't killed me yet
Surviving despite not following doctor's advice
Doc you probably wonder why I don't care
Questioning the doctor about his lack of concern
Why I don't change, why I ain't scared
Resistance to change and fear
'Cause I thought her leavin'
Believing that a past relationship would be fatal
Would stop my heart from beatin'
Expecting heartbreak to be life-threatening
And gettin' over her would be my death
Anticipating difficulty in moving on
It hurts every night when she dances through my mind
Emotional pain when thinking about the past
I still feel the sting of loneliness
Still feeling the effects of loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet
Surviving despite lingering emotional pain
She turned this house into a tomb
Describing a home filled with memories
Ghosts rattle in every room, they're doin' their best
Ghosts of the past haunting the present
But they ain't killed me yet
Surviving the haunting memories
So I lean on the bottle more every night
Reliance on alcohol to cope with pain
I'm probably past the point where I should give it a rest
Continuing unhealthy coping mechanisms
But it ain't killed me yet
Surviving despite unhealthy habits
No I ain't sayin' I'll never die
Acknowledging mortality but living in the present
But till I do, I'm on borrowed time
Living with the awareness of limited time
'Cause I thought her leavin'
Repeating the expectation of a past breakup
Would stop my heart from beatin'
Believing heartbreak would be fatal
And gettin' over her would be my death
Expecting difficulty in moving on
It hurts every night when she dances through my mind
Continued emotional pain from memories
I still feel the sting of loneliness
Lingering effects of loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet, it ain't killed me yet
Surviving despite ongoing emotional pain
It hurts every night when she dances through my mind
Repetition of the impact of memories and loneliness
I still feel the sting of loneliness
Continued feeling of loneliness
But it ain't killed me yet
Surviving despite persistent emotional pain
