Before and after us
Resilience Unveiled: A Journey Beyond Mistakes and Heartbreaks
Lyrics
Life is made of our mistakes
Life is defined by the errors we make.
Broken hearts and slaps in the face
Refers to experiences of heartbreak and challenges faced boldly.
Just like you
Comparing the speaker to the listener, emphasizing commonality.
So I go along my way
The speaker continues on their life journey.
And come along to say
Expressing the speaker's readiness to share their experiences.
That I've lived enough for today
The speaker feels they have lived enough for the current day.
You don't know my dreams
Highlighting that others may not fully understand the speaker's dreams.
You don't need to hurt me
Assuring others not to cause harm, as the speaker has already suffered.
I've already hurt myself
Reiterating that the speaker has inflicted pain upon themselves.
You don't need to hurt me
Repeating the plea not to cause harm, reinforcing the speaker's vulnerability.
I've already hurt myself
Reiterating the self-inflicted pain, underscoring emotional distress.
I don't belong in your eyes, Your Eyes
The speaker feels they don't fit into the listener's perception.
I thought I knew you but I should have
Reflecting on a failure to truly understand the listener.
looked deep in to your eyes, Your eyes
Suggesting a need for deeper understanding through eye contact.
Today is something new 'cause
Indicating a significant change in the speaker's life.
this is me before and after us
Summarizing a transformation before and after the relationship.
Yes,I'm calling you weak
Labeling the listener as weak, expressing disappointment.
Eleven months were so much more
Comparing eleven months of genuine experience to a deceptive week.
than a week of lies and fun
Describing the deceptive nature of a short-lived period.
So I'm here to burn those days
Expressing a desire to erase the memories of deceit.
You won't ever touch my face
Establishing a boundary – the speaker won't allow further harm.
Cause now I see how I forgot
Realization of forgotten happiness taken by the other person.
every smile you stole away
Recalling the loss of joy caused by the listener.
You don't need to hurt me
Reiteration of the plea not to cause additional harm.
I've already hurt myself…..
Underlining the enduring impact of self-inflicted pain.
