In Her Mind
Unraveling the Mind: Jeffrey Gaines' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Feeling sometimes she's been led astray
Expressing a feeling that at times, she has been led astray.
No one left who she can trust
Feeling a lack of trust in anyone around her.
Not sure what to do
Uncertain about what actions to take.
Not sure what to say
Uncertain about what words to say.
She's got so much unresolved stuff
She carries a burden of unresolved issues.
Every now and then you see her smile
Occasionally, she displays a genuine smile.
There you can begin to see a child
Behind the smile, there is a glimpse of her inner child.
Who's been told that she's just not good enough
She has been told she is not good enough, impacting her self-esteem.
All this time it's been like hell
Experiencing a challenging and difficult time.
But she's just not giving up
Despite the hardships, she refuses to give up.
She makes friends easily
She easily forms connections with others.
Watch her lay her body down
Witness her vulnerability as she lays herself bare.
In the end she'll be fine
Ultimately, she will be okay.
If she realizes
Her well-being depends on her realization.
It's only in her mind
Her struggles exist primarily in her own thoughts.
Needing so badly
She has intense needs that often go unfulfilled.
Never quite fulfilled
A constant feeling of incompleteness.
She says she can't deal with the truth
She avoids confronting the harsh reality.
She says it's the shame her father instilled
Blaming her struggles on the shame instilled by her father.
Watch her cry the tears
Her tears reflect the pain hidden in her past.
She had to hide in her youth
Emotional scars from her youth that she conceals.
Every now and then you see her smile
Similar to earlier, her smile reveals a glimpse of her inner child.
There you can begin to see a child
Continued impact of being told she is not good enough.
Who's been told that she's just not good enough
Enduring a challenging and difficult time persistently.
All this time it's been like hell
Her resilience prevails despite ongoing struggles.
But she's just not giving up
She continues to persevere and not give up.
She makes friends easily
Building connections effortlessly with others.
Watch her give herself for free
She freely gives of herself to those around her.
But in the end she'll be fine
Ultimately, she will find contentment.
Once she realizes
Dependent on her realization that her struggles exist within her mind.
It's only in her mind
Emphasizing that her challenges are internal and not external.
I know that she could be okay
Expressing confidence that she can overcome her struggles.
If she'd just let go of the past
If she releases the grip of the past, she can find peace.
It will probably torment her everyday
The past may continue to haunt her daily.
Wandering lost till the last
She might wander lost until the end.
Every now and then you see her smile
Similar to earlier, her smile reflects an inner child.
There you can begin to see a child
Despite hardships, the inner child continues to surface.
Who's been told that she's just not good enough
Long-lasting impact of being told she is not good enough.
All this time it's been like hell
Enduring and persisting through ongoing challenges.
But she's just not giving up
Persevering despite the continuous struggle.
She makes friends easily
Her ability to form connections with others remains intact.
Watch her give herself for free
Continuing to give of herself generously.
In the end she'll be fine
Ultimately, she will find peace.
Once she realizes
Dependent on her realization that her struggles are internal.
It's only in her mind
Reiterating that her challenges exist primarily in her own thoughts.
