Cover art for One Of These Days lyrics by Tim McGraw

To me, it's about the realization that if you have self-respect and can be honest to yourself, you will never again need to hurt and put others down just to feel better. It's not even about the people he treated badly, but the fact he couldn't ever be "good friends" with himself is the root of all problems, and it's a devastating thing to figure out.
