Keep the Change
Breaking Free: Embracing Change and Leaving Heartache Behind
Lyrics
Cast open the window, rip down the blinds
Expressing a desire to open up and let in fresh air, removing barriers and hiding places.
I'm sick of hidin' from the sweet sunshine
Frustration with avoiding positivity and the warmth of sunlight.
'Cause it ain't, it ain't gettin' me nowhere
Acknowledging that the current negative mindset is not leading to any progress.
I've been locked up in this house for way too long
Feeling confined and isolated at home for an extended period.
I'm sittin' around singin' sad, sad songs
Indulging in melancholic songs without positive outcomes.
And it ain't, it ain't gettin' me nowhere
Realizing that the current behavior is not bringing about positive change.
It's been a long time comin'
Acknowledging a prolonged struggle or difficulty.
I'm jumpin' off this reckless pitty train
Deciding to break free from a self-destructive pattern or negative emotions.
Oh, I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
Having exhausted all emotional resources in the relationship.
I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
Having paid the emotional price in the relationship and not expecting anything in return.
Well, I know how to nurse a bad heartache
Knowing how to cope with heartache but sometimes choosing to intensify the pain.
I can make it worse when I wanna feel the pain
Being aware of actions that worsen emotional distress for the sake of feeling something.
But it ain't, it ain't gettin' me nowhere
Acknowledging that self-destructive behavior does not lead to positive outcomes.
I know how to cry a river, I know how to drown
Understanding how to intensify sadness and succumbing to it.
Put that anchor 'round my ankles and let it take me down
Visualizing sinking deeper into emotional despair.
But it ain't, it ain't gettin' me nowhere
Realizing that this downward spiral is not beneficial.
It's been a long time comin'
Reiterating the long struggle or negative emotional state.
I'm jumpin' off this reckless pity train
Deciding to put an end to self-pity and negativity.
Oh, I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
Having given all and received nothing in return.
Yeah, I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
Asserting that the emotional debts have been fully paid, and no more is owed.
Keep the change, keep the change
Emphasizing the insistence on keeping the change, signaling a complete break from the past.
Keep the change, keep the change
Repeating the refusal to accept the previous state.
Oh, it's been a long time comin'
Reiterating the prolonged nature of the struggle before the decision for change.
I'm jumpin' off this reckless pitty train
Reaffirming the choice to step away from self-pity and negativity.
Yeah, I'm all cashed out on your lovin'
Confirming the exhaustion of emotional investment in the relationship.
Yeah, I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
Stating that all emotional debts have been settled, and no further commitment is expected.
Yeah, I've paid my dues honey, you can keep the change
Repeating the assertion that the dues have been paid in full.
