You Can't Break a Woman
Resilience in Silence: The Unbreakable Strength of a Woman
Lyrics
Whiskey-breath don't faze her anymore
Exposure to someone with whiskey breath doesn't bother her anymore.
She don't mind sleepin' alone
She is comfortable sleeping alone.
She got over all of that a long, long time ago
She has overcome any emotional impact from past experiences a long time ago.
Whiskey-breath don't faze her anymore
Reiteration that whiskey breath doesn't affect her anymore.
She got wiser every time you lied
She became wiser with each lie you told.
Sobered up every time you got drunk
She became more sensible every time you got drunk.
Every time you were stoned she just got a little more numb
During your times of being stoned, she emotionally distanced herself.
She pulled a little bit further away
She moved further away emotionally.
Every time you walked out the door
Her emotional distance increased every time you left.
No you can't break a woman who don't love you anymore
A declaration that a woman who no longer loves cannot be broken by you.
She ain't waitin' on pins and needles for you to come home
She's not anxiously waiting for you to return.
She wasted too much time on wasted tears
She wasted too much time crying over you.
Her heart stopped beating for you a long, long time ago
Her emotional attachment to you ceased a long time ago.
She ain't waitin' on pins and needles for you to come home
Reiteration that she's not waiting anxiously for your return.
She got wiser every time you lied
Similar to line 6, emphasizing her growing wisdom with your lies.
Sobered up every time you got drunk
Similar to line 7, she became more sober-minded with your drunkenness.
Every time you were stoned she just got a little more numb
During your times of being stoned, her emotional detachment increased.
She pulled a little bit further away
Continued emotional distancing with each instance of you.
Every time you walked out the door
Repetition that her emotional distance grew when you walked out.
No you can't break a woman who don't love you anymore
Reassertion that a woman who doesn't love you can't be broken by you.
Go on and twist the knife, she won't feel a thing
Even if you try to hurt her, she won't feel the pain.
You can pour salt in that wound but it won't sting
Attempts to worsen the situation won't affect her emotionally.
She got wiser every time you lied
Reiteration of her growing wisdom with your lies.
Sobered up every time you got drunk
Reiteration of her increased sobriety with your drunkenness.
Every time you were stoned she just got a little more numb
Continued emotional numbing during your times of being stoned.
She pulled a little bit further away
She keeps pulling away emotionally.
Every time you walked out the door
Emphasizes that her emotional distance grows every time you leave.
No you can't break a woman who don't love you anymore
Reaffirmation that a woman who doesn't love you can't be broken by you.
No you can't break a woman who don't love you anymore
Reiteration that a woman who doesn't love you can't be broken by you.
