So What
Embracing Lessons of Heartbreak: So What by Tammy Cochran
Lyrics
Should've been easy but it wasn't
Expressing that something should have been easy but it turned out to be difficult.
Should be painless but it's not
Highlighting that the situation should have been painless, but it is not without challenges.
Should've seen the truth in you but i didn't
Regret for not recognizing the truth in a person.
Should'a done a lot of things
Reflecting on missed opportunities and things that should have been done.
So what, so what
Expression of indifference or resilience to the situation, saying "so what."
If it hadn't been for losing you I'd still be back in Jackson
If it weren't for the breakup, the speaker would still be in a less fulfilling situation in Jackson.
Settlin' for settlin' and gettin' what I got
Describing a past life of settling for less and accepting the status quo.
But where I am and who I am is well worth every lesson
Acknowledging personal growth and the value of the lessons learned.
Guess you could say I learned a lot
Reflecting on the learning experience despite the heartbreak.
Yeah, you broke my heart
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the breakup.
So what
Reiterating a resilient attitude, saying "so what" despite the heartbreak.
Could've cried a river for you but I wouldn't
Choosing not to excessively mourn or dwell on the past.
Could'a just laid down and given up
Resisting the urge to give up or succumb to despair.
Could'a tried to be somebody I wasn't
Avoiding pretending to be someone else to cope with the situation.
I could have asked her name
Reflecting on missed opportunities or unspoken words.
For what, for what
Expressing indifference or dismissal, saying "for what."
If it hadn't been for losing you I'd still be back in Jackson
Reiteration that without the breakup, the speaker would have settled for less in Jackson.
Settlin' for settlin' and gettin' what I got
Describing a previous life of settling and accepting mediocrity.
But where I am and who I am is well worth every lesson
Acknowledging personal growth and the worth of the lessons learned.
Guess you could say I learned a lot
Reiterating the learning experience despite the heartbreak.
Yeah, you broke my heart
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the breakup.
So what
Reaffirming a resilient attitude, saying "so what" despite the heartbreak.
So what if it hurt me for a little while
Accepting the temporary pain and hurt as part of the healing process.
So what if some teardrops had to fall
Indicating the acceptance of tears and emotional expression.
So what if I never thought I'd love again
Accepting the possibility of not experiencing love again.
I know I'm better for it all
Claiming personal growth and improvement despite the challenges.
If it hadn't been for losing you I'd still be back in Jackson
Reiteration that without the breakup, the speaker would have settled for less in Jackson.
Settlin' for settlin' and gettin' what I got
Describing a past life of settling and accepting mediocrity.
But where I am and who I am is well worth every lesson
Acknowledging personal growth and the value of the lessons learned.
Guess you could say I learned a lot
Reiterating the learning experience despite the heartbreak.
Yeah, you broke my heart
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the breakup.
So what
Reaffirming a resilient attitude, saying "so what" despite the heartbreak.
