Wiser
Madilyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that it was safe to die inside your arms
I let you in I let you see this naked heart
Lesson learned sometimes love goes behind your back
I guess that's just the way we find out who we are
Was it all worth it

I'm wiser from the mess you made I feel no pain
Wiser from the storms I braved yeah I want to say
Thank you thank you
For breaking my heart showing me who you are
I'm wiser from the waves you made
Wiser

It melts away the price I pay to taste your love
No more shame those embers they just burn to dust
Turning pages bruises fade and I made it through the deep
I earned my stripes from battle cries this skin is thick
Was it all worth it

I'm wiser from the mess you made I feel no pain
Wiser from the storms I braved yeah I want to say
Thank you thank you
For breaking my heart showing me who you are
I'm wiser from the waves you made
Wiser

Thank you for making it harder
I leaned to keep my head above the water
Because of you I will always be a survivor
Boy it was worth it

I'm wiser from the mess you made I feel no pain
Wiser from the storms I braved yeah I want to say
Thank you thank you
For breaking my heart showing me who you are
I'm wiser from the waves you made

Thank youuuuuu

I'm wiser from the mess you made I feel no pain
Wiser from the storms I braved yeah I want to say
Thank you thank you
For breaking my heart showing me who you are




I'm wiser from the waves you made
Wiser

The lines "I thought that it was safe to die inside your arms, I let you in I let you see this naked heart" express the vulnerability and trust she placed in her lover, only for it to be betrayed. She then goes on to say "Lesson learned sometimes love goes behind your back, I guess that's just the way we find out who we are" which suggests that despite the pain, she has become wiser and knows more about who she is because of the experience. The chorus reinforces this idea, with her claiming, "I'm wiser from the mess you made, I feel no pain, wiser from the storms I braved".


The lyrics also show how she has grown stronger because of her experiences. She talks about surviving and keeping her head above water because of the hard times that she's been through.
