Lyrics
Now quite frankly
Expressing honesty or openness
Oh my baby
Referring to a loved one
I was not fairing well
Indicating a period of emotional struggle
Before you came
Highlighting a positive change brought by someone
My heart was in pain
Describing emotional pain prior to the arrival of the person
It was all I could feel
Emphasizing the intensity of emotional pain
But now you're here
Acknowledging the presence of someone special
And I know why
Expressing understanding of the significance of the person
Even if you don't
Acknowledging that the person may not fully realize their impact
My own savior
Describing the person as a savior
Come a daughter
Referring to the person as a daughter-like figure
To carry me home
Imagery of being guided or protected
I never prayed a day in my life, never saw me through
Admitting to not having prayed before
Now, I pray for you
Expressing a change in behavior, now praying for someone else
This old world
Describing the world as harsh and unfriendly
Its mean & angry
Highlighting the negativity in the world
It will aim to bring you down
Warning about external forces trying to bring one down
But there's love
Introducing the idea of love as a powerful force
Big enough,
Emphasizing the vastness and strength of love
Lift you up off of the ground
Love's ability to uplift and support
But don't you
Advising not to neglect one's heart and mental well-being
Forsake your heart
Emphasizing the importance of self-care
Or your mental health
Highlighting the significance of mental health
For the idea
Cautioning against compromising one's identity
Of someone else's right
Rejecting conformity to others' expectations
Always be yourself
Encouraging authenticity and self-expression
I never prayed a day in my life, never saw me through
Reiteration of not having prayed before
Now, I pray for you
Continued change, now praying for the person introduced earlier
