Yesterday's Rain
Finding Strength in Yesterday's Rain: Toby Keith's Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
Somebody told you that my broken heart started mending
Somebody informed you that my healing from a broken heart has begun.
I'm getting by, but the truth is that I'm still standing
I'm managing to cope, but the reality is that I'm still enduring the pain.
Knee deep in yesterday's rain
I find myself deeply immersed in the memories and emotions of the past.
Well I ain't high and dry, I ain't got a big boat
Although I'm not in a comfortable or secure position, lacking significant resources,
But I got a new umbrella and an overcoat
I do have a new sense of protection and readiness for challenges.
And if the good Lord's willing and the sun breaks through
If it's in accordance with the divine will and the sun emerges,
That'll be one more day that I made it without you
That day will mark another achievement of surviving without you.
That I made it without you
This emphasizes the significance of enduring without the presence of the person.
I don't care what the future holds
I am indifferent to what the future may bring.
And don't care about what you've been told
External opinions and information about you don't affect me.
Don't want to hear what the weatherman has to say
I'm not interested in the predictions of the weatherman or any external factors,
'Cause I'm standing knee deep in yesterday's rain
As I am currently immersed in the emotional remnants of the past.
All those fools go rushing, they don't hesitate
People who act impulsively without consideration are pursuing something,
And the lonely go looking where the losers wait
While those who are lonely are seeking companionship in places where others have failed.
And I'm thinking, somewhere in the middle there's a love that's true
I believe that genuine love lies somewhere between extremes,
But I ain't found one yet, and I ain't got you
Yet, I have not discovered such love, and I still miss you.
No I ain't got you baby
I still don't have you, and it weighs on my heart.
I don't care what the future holds
Similar to line 11, reiterating my indifference towards the future.
And don't care about what you've been told
Reiterating that external information about you doesn't concern me.
Don't want to hear what the weatherman has to say
Reiterating my disinterest in external influences, like the weatherman's forecast.
'Cause I'm standing knee deep in yesterday's rain
Reiterating my current emotional state, deeply entrenched in past emotions.
Yesterday's rain, yesterday's rain, yesterday's rain
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the emotional impact from the past.
Somebody told you that my broken heart started mending
Reiterating that someone informed you about the gradual healing of my broken heart.
