Good Reason
Finding Redemption: Unveiling Life's Struggles in 'Good Reason'
Lyrics
I don't have the time for the things that live in my life
I have limited time for things in my life.
Some bills overdue, I might pay a few
I have some overdue bills, and I may pay a few, but I won't let them take my last dime.
But I won't let them take my last dime
Emphasizes the speaker's determination not to let financial difficulties overwhelm them.
I don't have to care
I don't have to worry or be concerned.
Give me something to get me there
Provide me with something to help me cope.
After one shot or two I'm not thinking of you
After having a drink or two, the speaker is not preoccupied with thoughts of someone else or the world's unfairness.
Or the ways that the world is unfair
Indifferent to the injustices of the world.
Sometimes I can keep to myself
At times, the speaker prefers solitude.
'Cause I carry the weight like everyone else
Like everyone else, the speaker bears the weight of life.
Days like this I fall off the deep end
During challenging days, the speaker struggles emotionally.
But I know me and I
Despite difficulties, the speaker knows oneself and...
Find a good reason
...finds a good reason to persevere.
I don't have the life
I don't have the ideal life that I wanted for you to be a part of.
I wanted for you to be mine
The speaker feels inadequate and believes they are not good enough for the other person.
I'm too fucked up and just ain't good enough
Expressing personal flaws and challenges in maintaining a relationship.
And I never could tell you why
The speaker cannot explain why they are not suitable for the other person.
Sometimes I can keep to myself
Similar to line 10, the speaker can keep to oneself at times.
'Cause I carry the weight like everyone else
Despite life's challenges, the speaker, like everyone else, bears the weight.
Days like this I fall off the deep end
On difficult days, the speaker emotionally struggles again.
But I know me and I
Yet, the speaker knows oneself and...
Find a good reason
...finds a good reason to keep going.
I don't have the truth
The speaker doesn't possess the absolute truth.
I won't let you go
The speaker is determined not to let someone go.
Won't let you go
Repeated emphasis on not letting go of someone.
Days like this I fall off the deep end
On challenging days, the speaker faces emotional difficulties once more.
But I know me and I
Yet, the speaker knows oneself and...
Find a good reason
...finds a good reason to persevere, repeating the theme of finding motivation despite challenges.
