Whipping Post
Heartache Symphony: Battling Love's Chains
Lyrics
I've been run down and I've been lied to
I have experienced hardship and deception
And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool
I'm unsure why I allowed a hurtful woman to deceive me
She took all my money, wrecks my new car
She has taken all my money and damaged my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies,
Now she's involved with one of my close friends, both drinking in a distant bar
They're drinkin in some cross-town bar
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Expressing emotional turmoil
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Feeling as if I'm bound to a punishing situation
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post
Repetition of feeling tied to a metaphorical whipping post, emphasizing the pain
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
Expressing extreme emotional distress and suffering
My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool
Friends criticize my choices, suggesting I've been foolish
But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you
Despite criticism, I had to endure the pain for the sake of love
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done
Drowning in sorrow, reflecting on the consequences of the relationship
But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same,
No positive change despite efforts, and I can't escape the situation
And I can't run
Feeling trapped, unable to escape the difficulties
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Reiteration of the emotional struggle
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Continued feeling of being bound to a challenging situation
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post
Repetition of being tied to a metaphorical whipping post, emphasizing the enduring pain
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
Reiterating extreme emotional distress and suffering
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Repetition of the emotional struggle
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Reinforcing the feeling of being bound to a challenging situation
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post
Repetition of being tied to a metaphorical whipping post, emphasizing the enduring pain
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
Emphasizing extreme emotional distress and the sensation of impending death
