Lyrics
The armor on my heart is loose again
The emotional guard around my heart is not secure.
I don't know what I did here to loosen it
Uncertain about the actions that led to this emotional vulnerability.
They say love is a war and I lose again
Describing love as a battle in which the singer consistently loses.
But the blessing is pouring all through the rain
Finding solace and positivity even in challenging circumstances.
I praise your name

I pray for a way to release the pain
Seeking a way to alleviate emotional pain through prayer.
I pray for a day I don't feel estranged
Expressing a desire to overcome feelings of alienation.
I pray for a way to get through the maze
Praying for guidance to navigate life's complexities.
Without losing faith
Wishing to maintain faith despite challenges.
Everyday I feel like I been in a daze
Feeling disoriented and disconnected on a daily basis.
Everyday it feel like I been getting played
Sensing manipulation or mistreatment regularly.
Every saying I heard now makes sense to me
Understanding the wisdom in certain sayings.
Like you never know what you had
Realizing the value of something after losing it.
Til the day you can't get it back
Regret over the irreversible loss of something significant.

Reflecting on life using simple mathematical analogies.
