Damaged
Emotional Turmoil: Longing for Healing and Redemption
Lyrics
It’s been a few years
Refers to the passage of time since a certain event.
And I still find it hard to say I love you
Expresses difficulty in expressing love due to comparisons with someone else.
Cause he’s not you
Highlights a comparison between the person being addressed and someone else.
And I try to stay away but I can’t
Attempts to avoid but ultimately fails to stay away from thoughts or actions related to the person.
I hear your name and I run right back to you
Upon hearing a specific name, the person feels compelled to return to the mentioned individual.
Cause he’s not you
Reiterates the inability to detach due to a comparison with someone else.
All I know is
Expresses a sense of limited understanding or certainty.
I’m damaged but I’d
Describes oneself as emotionally wounded or troubled.
Break myself again if you’d come back and fix me
Expresses willingness to endure self-harm in the hope of being repaired by the person being addressed.
I know I messed with both our heads but I wish mine would stay a mess
Acknowledges causing confusion or distress in both parties and preferring personal chaos over resolution.
If you’d come back and fix me
Expresses the desire to be fixed by the person despite acknowledging causing problems.
I know I know that I’m damaged
Self-awareness of being emotionally damaged.
I know I know that I’m damaged
Repetition emphasizing acknowledgment of personal emotional scars.
I am all alone even when he’s home
Feeling isolated or disconnected even when in the company of someone else.
Oh I need you wish that I could see you
Expresses a longing for the presence of the person being addressed.
Come unravel me so you can see every scar you left on me
Desires the person to understand the emotional wounds they caused.
All I know is
Repeats the sense of limited understanding or certainty.
I’m damaged but I’d
Reiterates emotional distress or damage.
Break myself again if you’d come back and fix me
Willingness to undergo emotional turmoil again for the chance of being repaired by the person.
I know I messed with both our heads but I wish mine would stay a mess
Acceptance of personal responsibility for causing confusion but preferring it over resolution.
If you’d come back and fix me
Desire to be fixed despite acknowledging one's own emotional damage.
I know I know that I’m damaged
Repetition emphasizing self-awareness of emotional damage.
I know I know that I’m damaged
-I know I know that I’m damaged
-I know I know that I’m damaged
-I’m consumed with all you do
Feeling overwhelmed or preoccupied with the actions of the addressed person.
I wish that I could do this better
Expresses a desire to improve oneself for the addressed person.
I promised him I’d stay with him but
Acknowledges a promise made to someone else but doubts the ability to keep it due to personal emotional turmoil.
I know that I won’t survive
Expresses a lack of confidence in surviving without the addressed person.
