The Medicine
Unveiling the Healing: Decoding Jeremy Renner's Soulful Journey
Lyrics
Time stops for no one
Time is relentless and continues without stopping for anyone.
You and I were broken
You and I were emotionally damaged or hurt.
Lost and only hoping
We were lost and filled with hopelessness.
We were wrong
We made mistakes or were on the wrong path.
I'm coming undone
I am falling apart or experiencing emotional turmoil.
You were just like magic
You were like magic, possessing both beauty and tragedy.
Beautiful and tragic
You had a captivating beauty but were also marked by tragedy.
Now you're gone
Now you are no longer present or have left.
Now you're gone
