Doubt in My Mind
Navigating Love's Broken Path: Doubt in My Mind
Lyrics
The love that I gave you you tried to pawn
The love I gave you was attempted to be pawned or devalued.
The man said it wasn't worth a dime
The appraiser suggested that the love wasn't valuable at all.
He said it'd been broken too many times
The love was deemed damaged or fragile due to previous hardships.
By the doubt in my mind
The doubt in the speaker's mind has caused the love to break.
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
The repetition emphasizes the impact of doubt in causing the love to break.
Broken by the doubt in my mind
-Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
-Broken by the doubt in my mind
-I've drunk the poison of my fear
The speaker has internalized fear, poisoning their emotions.
Felt it taint my love from inside
Fear has tainted the speaker's love from within.
If time were a river I'd wash myself clean
Metaphorically, if time could cleanse, the speaker would rid themselves of doubt.
There would be no more doubt in my mind
If the cleansing were successful, there would be no more doubt in the speaker's mind.
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
Repetition reinforces the idea of eliminating doubt through cleansing.
There would be no more doubt in my mind
-Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
-There would be no more doubt in my mind
-If only I could open and let you pour in
The speaker wishes to be open to love or embrace positivity.
Or step out in the bright sunshine
Stepping into brightness symbolizes moving away from darkness or negativity.
There would soon grow a garden where a desert had been
The result of openness would be the growth of positivity.
There would be no more doubt in my mind
If these changes occur, there would be no more doubt in the speaker's mind.
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
Reiteration of the absence of doubt with the positive changes mentioned.
There would be no more doubt in my mind
-Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
-There would be no more doubt in my mind
