On the Mend
Mending Hearts: A Journey Through Life's Tough Times
Lyrics
Well I been medicating myself through the tough times
Expressing reliance on self-medication during challenging times.
Weed and pills ninety proof and cheap wine
Listing substances (weed, pills, ninety proof, cheap wine) used to cope.
See I been down this lonely road enough times
Reflecting on experiencing loneliness and hardship repeatedly.
To know the streets are never paved with gold
Realization that life's paths are not always filled with success.
The good times seem harder to hold
Acknowledging the difficulty of sustaining good times.
If I blink my eyes I might grow old
Fearing the passage of time and the aging process.
So I keep holding on tight
Commitment to holding on tightly despite challenges.
'Til that feelings right
Waiting for the right emotional state before taking action.
Take your time
Encouraging someone to take their time.
Baby I got all night
Expressing readiness to invest time in healing.
To start mendin' this broken heart
Commitment to repairing a broken heart.
Where there's a hole
Highlighting the presence of emotional emptiness.
Whoa oh oh
Reinforcing the emotional pain with a vocal expression.
Well it takes a lil bit more than it used too
Indicating an increased need for coping mechanisms.
To get my mind straight after the bad news
Stating that overcoming bad news requires extra effort.
These bills need paying
Acknowledging financial responsibilities (bills) without job security.
But I ain't got no job to lose
Acceptance of facing economic challenges.
But so much of my story ain't even been told
Hinting at untold personal struggles and experiences.
I might be shakin' but I ain't cold
Despite shaking, indicating resilience against the coldness of life.
Sometimes a winning hand well it means you fold
Recognizing that sometimes, giving up is a strategic move.
So I keep holding on tight
Reiterating the determination to hold on despite challenges.
'Til that feelings right
Waiting for the right emotional state before taking action (repeated).
Take your time
Encouraging someone to take their time (repeated).
Baby I got all night
Expressing readiness to invest time in healing (repeated).
To start mending this broken heart
Commitment to repairing a broken heart (repeated).
Where there's a hole
Highlighting the presence of emotional emptiness (repeated).
Whoa oh oh oh
Reinforcing the emotional pain with a vocal expression (repeated).
Just when I think that I've had enough
Recognizing the ongoing struggle and the need to endure.
Life reminds me that I really ain't that tough
Life's challenges emphasizing personal vulnerability.
Two more drinks, I'm probably leaving here in cuffs
Predicting potential consequences of increased alcohol intake.
Two more drinks you know I'm leaving here in cuffs
Repeating the potential outcome of excessive drinking.
But just like my buddy told to me
Quoting advice about the universality of emotional vulnerability.
Even cowboys cry so let it be
Acceptance of the inevitability of expressing emotions.
It's all relative to a certain degree
Relativizing challenges in life to varying degrees.
So I keep holding on tight
Reiterating the determination to hold on despite challenges (repeated).
'Til that feelings right
Waiting for the right emotional state before taking action (repeated).
Take your time
Encouraging someone to take their time (repeated).
Baby I got all night
Expressing readiness to invest time in healing (repeated).
To start mending this broken heart
Commitment to repairing a broken heart (repeated).
Where there's a hole
Highlighting the presence of emotional emptiness (repeated).
Whoa oh oh oh
Reinforcing the emotional pain with a vocal expression (repeated).
Where there's a hole
Reiterating the presence of emotional emptiness (repeated).
Whoa oh oh oh
Reinforcing the emotional pain with a vocal expression (repeated).
Where there's a hole
Concluding with a repeated emphasis on emotional emptiness.
