Cut open my heart right at the scar and loosen up
Gonna do what I'm told go where I'm told and loosen up
Take a shot in the rain one for the pain and loosen up
I tried all the way
Wait for me, wait for me
It's all better now, it's all better now
Wait for me, wait for me
Going to soften the blow soften the blow and give it up
I saw the surprise the look in your eyes I gave it up
Gonna be who I am be who I am and give it up
I tried all the way
To me this song sounds like a guy is trying to deal with a problem he's been avoiding by drowning it in alcohol. Maybe he's been dealing with depression/anxiety/stress by drinking. He admits he used to take a "shot" for the pain, but he's promising that he'll take people's advice and be sober. He asks for patience; it takes a long time to earn back the trust of your loved-ones who are hurt the most by your alcoholism.
