Embrace Imperfections: Using Pain to Find Light
Lyrics
So you've messed it up
Expressing acknowledgment of a mistake or failure.
Don't know when to stop
Suggesting a lack of self-control or awareness.
Said more than enough
Admitting to saying more than necessary or appropriate.
I've touched you where it hurts
Acknowledging causing emotional pain or vulnerability.
And I know I'm not the first
Recognizing that the speaker is not the first to cause hurt.
But please don't make it worse
Pleading not to worsen the situation.
Don't be so hard on yourself
Encouraging self-compassion instead of harsh self-judgment.
Take it out on someone else
Suggesting finding an alternative outlet for negative emotions.
Say my name anyway you please use me
Offering oneself to be used or relied upon, even if in a challenging way.
Look me in the eye i'd love to see you smile
Expressing a desire to see joy or happiness in the other person.
And I know how hard you try
Acknowledging the effort the other person puts into something.
Don't be so hard on yourself
Reiterating the importance of self-kindness and understanding.
Take it out on someone else
Repeating the suggestion to redirect negative feelings externally.
Say my name anyway you please
Reiterating the willingness to be used for the other person's relief.
In the morning you'll see a different side
Anticipating a positive change or perspective in the morning.
In the morning a softer light
Suggesting a gentler, more hopeful light in the morning.
In the morning it will all look right
Expecting that things will appear right or be resolved in the morning.
And you won't have to hide
Indicating that there will be no need for concealment or secrecy.
Don't be so hard on yourself
Repeating the plea for self-compassion and understanding.
Take it out on someone else
Reiterating the suggestion to find an external outlet for emotions.
Say my name anyway you please
Restating the willingness to be used, emphasizing acceptance.
Don't be so hard on yourself
Advising against being overly critical or harsh towards oneself.
Take it out on someone else
Encouraging finding alternative ways to cope with inner struggles.
Say my name anyway you please use me
Repeating the openness to being utilized, even if in a challenging manner.
