Someone Had to Teach You
Redemption in Tears: Unveiling the Lesson of 'Someone Had to Teach You'
Lyrics
Yes, I'll take you back again, you knew I would
Expressing a willingness to welcome the person back despite past issues.
For I go on lovin' you that's understood
Committing to continue loving despite challenges.
But it's the first time you've come back with tears in your eyes
Noting the unusual occurrence of tears during the person's return.
Lately someone's taught you how to cry
Suggesting that someone else has influenced the person to express emotions.
Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart to
Acknowledging that someone else had to be the one to teach emotional vulnerability.
Hurt you just like you've been hurting me
Reflecting on the reluctance to cause emotional pain despite being hurt.
Someone had to teach you things it's time that you knew
Implying that there are crucial things the person needed to learn.
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
Hoping that the newfound knowledge will lead to satisfaction in the relationship.
Someone took your heart and rubbed it in the dirt
Describing an incident where someone mistreated the person's heart.
And you look just like a puppy when it's hurt
Comparing the person's emotional state to a hurt puppy.
But you had this lesson coming for so very long
Stating that the person deserved the lesson for a prolonged period.
Our sins all have a way of coming home
Highlighting the consequences of past actions returning to affect the relationship.
Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart to
Reiterating the reluctance to intentionally hurt the person emotionally.
Hurt you just like you've been hurting me
Expressing the internal conflict of not wanting to cause pain despite feeling hurt.
Someone had to teach you things it's time that you knew
Emphasizing the importance of the lessons that needed to be learned.
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
Reiterating the hope for satisfaction in the relationship post-lessons.
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me
Concluding with the desire for the person to be content with the relationship.
