Grateful
bark dog Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

So you leave me like this
Needing more than you could comfortably give
I know you can't explain
Why you are this way
And I'm really just the same
Suppressing the things that cause us pain

Now every time I wake up, I know the deal
That there is nothing left to sift through




Not sure if this wound will ever heal
But I am grateful that I knew you

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics describe a situation where the singer feels abandoned by someone they care about. The person they are addressing has not been able to meet their needs, leaving the singer longing for more love and support than the person can comfortably provide. Despite their disappointment, the singer acknowledges that the other person may not be able to explain why they are unable to meet those needs. The lyrics hint at a connection between the two individuals, as the singer admits to having similar tendencies of suppressing their own pain.


The second verse conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer wakes up each day fully aware of the reality of their situation – that there is nothing more to be said or done to salvage the relationship. They have come to terms with the fact that there is no hope of finding any further understanding or resolution. The phrase "nothing left to sift through" suggests that all the possible explanations or reasons for the relationship's failure have already been explored and exhausted.


The uncertainty of the healing process is expressed in the next line. The singer wonders whether the pain they feel will ever truly fade or if they will continue to carry the wound inflicted by this experience. Despite this uncertainty, they express gratitude for having known the person who has now caused them pain. This gratitude may stem from a recognition of the positive aspects of the relationship, or simply from the belief that every experience, even painful ones, can contribute to personal growth and understanding.


Overall, the lyrics illustrate a complex emotional journey of disappointment, acceptance, and gratitude. The singer recognizes their own similarities with the person who let them down, indicating a level of introspection and self-awareness. While they have resigned themselves to the fact that the relationship has reached its end, they are still able to find gratitude for the lessons learned and experiences shared.
