Branded Heart
Confessions of a Branded Heart: A Tale of Redemption and Regret
Lyrics
I've been down and out for so long
Feeling depressed and in a difficult situation for a prolonged period.
I've never had a place to call my home
Never having a stable or permanent place to feel comfortable.
Drank myself to the end of the line
Using alcohol excessively, reaching the end of a path or situation.
Reckless wrecking hearts that weren't even mine
Causing emotional damage to others without care or ownership.
I started young and I started fast
Started engaging in things early, but realizing it wouldn't endure.
But I knew deep down it wouldn't last
Despite starting early, there's an awareness it won't last.
I tried to take a better turn around
Attempted to change for the better but failed.
But it didn't work
Efforts to change direction were unsuccessful.
I guess I'm hellward bound
Seems destined for a negative path or outcome.
I tried to pretend I didn't know
Trying to ignore or deny knowledge of past actions.
But the things I've done have more than shown
Actions have demonstrated the true nature of oneself.
The inner parts of a torn up man
Inner turmoil and confusion within oneself.
One that even I can't understand
Unable to comprehend or make sense of personal struggles.
Throw me away there's no where I belong
Feeling like an outcast, not fitting in anywhere.
Broke everything in my way
Causing destruction without regard for consequences.
Didn't matter how wrong
Didn't care about the wrongs committed.
I'm a man that's crushed people too many times
Recognizing having hurt others numerous times.
And now the branded heart is all mine
Feeling marked or damaged inside, owning the pain.
Too many times I've said I loved
Expressing love multiple times without satisfaction.
After all those times, it still wasn't enough
Even after expressing love, it wasn't adequate.
If I had a mark for all the hearts that were mine
If there were a visible sign for each hurt heart, it would be evident.
I'd be an illustrated man,
Metaphorically, covered in marks from relationships.
Running down the line
Continuously experiencing these marks or relationships.
I tried to pretend I didn't know
Trying to ignore or deny knowledge of past actions (repeated).
But the things I've done have more than shown
Actions continue to reveal internal struggles (repeated).
The inner parts of a torn up man
Inner turmoil and confusion within oneself (repeated).
One that even I can't understand
Unable to comprehend or make sense of personal struggles (repeated).
Throw me away there's no where I belong
Feeling like an outcast, not fitting in anywhere (repeated).
Broke everything in my way
Causing destruction without regard for consequences (repeated).
Didn't matter how wrong
Didn't care about the wrongs committed (repeated).
I'm a man that's crushed people too many times
Recognizing having hurt others numerous times (repeated).
And now the branded heart is all mine
Feeling marked or damaged inside, owning the pain (repeated).
Throw me away there's no where I belong
Feeling like an outcast, not fitting in anywhere (repeated).
Broke everything in my way
Causing destruction without regard for consequences (repeated).
Didn't matter how wrong
Didn't care about the wrongs committed (repeated).
I'm a man that's crushed people too many times
Recognizing having hurt others numerous times (repeated).
And now the branded heart is all mine
Feeling marked or damaged inside, owning the pain (repeated).
Now the branded heart is all mine
Ownership of the damaged emotional state.
Now the branded heart is all mine
Reiteration of owning the damaged emotional state.
