Wino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it me or was it meant to be this way
Took breath of life
Didn't dream it would turn out this way
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why I can't see the beauty in livin'
In a dream, my baby girl came to me
Took my head in her hand
Said daddy don't cry, gonna be okay
Daddy don't cry, gonna see you today
Today
Daddy don't cry, gonna see you today
Whatever happened to my iron will
Hide behind my broken heart
Just know that it's in there still
I can tell it ain't far
Ain't broke for her
I don't love her it's true
Broke for the little ones
Miss the way they do
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you true
I was born and raised on the witch's brew
Raised up high
Raised up low
Was that needle that took my soul
My soul
Needle took my soul
This i know for sure
My children here
My love is pure for what I hold dear
Life is hard
Life is cold
Can't hide the scars on our souls
Souls
Can't hide the scars on our souls

Line by Line Meaning
Whatever happened to my special life
I wonder what happened to the life that I thought was meant for me
Was it me or was it meant to be this way
I'm not sure if it's my fault or if it's just how things were always meant to be
Took breath of life
I was given the gift of life
Didn't dream it would turn out this way
I never imagined that my life would end up like this
I don't know why
I have no idea
I don't know why
I still have no idea
I don't know why I can't see the beauty in livin'
I don't understand why I can't appreciate the good things in life
In a dream, my baby girl came to me
I had a dream where my daughter visited me
Took my head in her hand
She held my head in her hands
Said daddy don't cry, gonna be okay
She reassured me that everything would be alright
Daddy don't cry, gonna see you today
And that she would see me soon
Whatever happened to my iron will
I wonder where my strength and determination went
Hide behind my broken heart
I use my pain as a shield to protect myself from getting hurt again
Just know that it's in there still
But I know that deep down, I still have that strength within me
I can tell it ain't far
I can feel it's not far away
Ain't broke for her
I'm not upset because of a girl
I don't love her it's true
I don't love her, it's the truth
Broke for the little ones
I'm hurting because of my children
Miss the way they do
I miss the way they act and behave
I'll tell you why
I'll explain why
I'll tell you true
And it's the truth
I was born and raised on the witch's brew
I was brought up in a difficult environment
Raised up high
I had good times too
Raised up low
But also some low points
Was that needle that took my soul
And it was drugs that took my happiness away
My children here
I have my kids with me
My love is pure for what I hold dear
I love them with all my heart
Life is hard
Life is difficult
Life is cold
Life can also be cruel and unforgiving
Can't hide the scars on our souls
The pain we go through leaves a permanent mark on us
Can't hide the scars on our souls
It's impossible to ignore the emotional pain we have experienced
