Lyrics
Don't be surprised
Advice not to be surprised by the duration of the healing process.
when the healing takes longer than you want it to
Acknowledgment that healing may take longer than desired.
when you double down to find another version of you
Suggesting self-reflection to discover a different aspect of oneself.
one that you hoped you had outgrown.
Reflecting on unfulfilled hopes of personal growth.
Don't be confused
Caution not to be confused when feeling remorse without wrongdoing.
when you feel sorry even though you ain't done nothing wrong
Expressing a desire to preserve the purity of past experiences.
and you want to protect the innocence of what's long gone
Nostalgia over someone not truly understood.
over someone you never really knew.
Reflecting on feelings for someone never fully known.
Don't be too hard on you.

Don't be alarmed
Warning not to be alarmed by the resurgence of past memories.
when those old haunts resurface late at night
Reference to old memories returning late at night.
and you lie awake and wonder what's the point
Questioning the purpose of personal growth efforts.
whether the work is doing any good.
Doubt about the effectiveness of personal development.
Just let it through - sit with it a minute or two
Suggestion to allow emotions to surface and be experienced.
and give yourself some credit where credits' due - you have survived with your heart.
Recognizing and giving credit for surviving challenges with the heart intact.
So don't be so hard on you
Reiteration of the advice not to be too hard on oneself.
deep wounds take longest to heal
Acknowledging the prolonged healing process for deep wounds.
let yourself feel.
Encouragement to allow oneself to experience and process emotions.
Let yourself feel.
