Hard Staying Sober
Soulful Struggle: Battling Demons in 'Hard Staying Sober'
Lyrics
It's hard staying sober when you ain't staying over
Struggling to maintain sobriety when the person is not present
It's easy getting messed up on the truth
Finding it easy to be deceived by the harsh reality
It's hard standing here watching taillights disappear
Difficult to watch someone leave and see their taillights fade away
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you
Challenging to stay sober while trying to move on from the person
It's hard to the leave the house when all I think about
Struggling with the thoughts of leaving home and the uncertainty of returning
Is how hard it might be to come back home
Contemplating the difficulty of returning home
I wait here and watch the rain when you come back for all your things
Waiting and reflecting on the situation when the person comes back for belongings
You'll get what you want and then you'll go
Acknowledging that the person will get what they want and leave
It's hard staying sober when you ain't staying over
Reiteration of the challenge of staying sober without the person around
It's easy getting messed up on the truth
Highlighting the ease of being misled by the truth
It's hard standing here watching taillights disappear
Expressing the difficulty of watching someone leave
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you
Continuing to find it hard to stay sober while moving on
It's hard to quit this smoking when my will to fight is broken
Difficulty in quitting smoking with a weakened will to resist
It's hard to quit a habit in a rush
Challenging to break a habit hastily
Hits me in the morning, just like you I'm looking for 'em
Similarity between the impact of the habit and the impact of the person
Can't seem to put down this pick-me-up
Struggling to put down a comforting substance
It's hard staying sober when you ain't staying over
Reiteration of the difficulty of staying sober without the person
It's easy getting messed up on the truth
Emphasizing the ease of being deceived by the truth
It's hard standing here watching taillights disappear
Repeating the challenge of watching someone leave
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you
Continuing to find it hard to stay sober while moving on
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you
Reiteration of the challenge of staying sober while getting over the person
Why you think the world drinks?
Raising a rhetorical question about why the world turns to drinking
Why you think the world smokes?
Pondering on why the world resorts to smoking
Why you think we all sit around and tell a bunch of dirty jokes?
Questioning the prevalence of sharing dirty jokes as a coping mechanism
Somebody somewhere is out having a ball
Noting that while some are having a good time, others are heartbroken
And somebody's sitting around heartbroke
Pointing out the contrast in experiences
Why you think we all drink? (Why you think we call drink)
Reiteration of the question about why people turn to drinking
Why you think we all smoke?
Reiterating the question about why people resort to smoking
Why you think we all drink?
Repetition of the question about why people drink
Why you think we all smoke?
Repeating the question about why people smoke
