I've Been Hurt
Z-66 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What goes up, must come down
The higher I go, the harder I fall
Cliches know what they're talking about
It's one of those times where I'm walking, and everything is off with me
And certain things are haunting me
I try to not show something's wrong with me
I know it's time for a heart to heart
A mind to mind
A life to life, with me, myself, and I
I can't keep it all inside
I know that that's not right
And I need to not tell lies
I need to live in the real world
It's better there
It's more honest there
I'll find the answers that I'm wanting there
I can reach an understanding that no matter what has happened, and no matter what'll happen, good or bad at the end of this, that it is what it is, and I'll be alright
I'm making good time
I'll be alright
I can't let this all get to my head, all because I'm in the middle of it
Once I realize that, I can tell myself that

I've been freed again
I can see again
I believe again
I've been freed again
I can see again
I believe again
I've been freed again
And I have me to thank

Freed again
Oh, the work it took to be free again wasn't easy, man
Went through leaps and bounds, navigating myself
It took a while but I won the battle
So I'm winning the war that's in my head
The fear didn't beat me dead
I'm clean, I'm cleared
I didn't let me be defeated by my enemy, myself
I'm clean, I'm cleared
Thankfully, I'm here

I've been freed again
I can see again
I believe again
I've been freed again
I can see again
I believe again




I've been freed again
And I have me to thank
