We have to admit one of the great things that have happened in lockdowns is that we’ve been able to listen to more music and watch more movies. It’s been amazing and it has also felt like I needed to question what I was thinking by not listening to more of this sooner.
One persons music that I have grown to love is Kacey Musgraves. She has an album coming out September 10th, and has released the first song from the album. Justified, also has a music video released with it.
In the video she takes her heartbreak on the road.
We are sure that we aren’t the only ones who listen to songs and find a line that you relate the most to. For us the line, “Healing doesn’t happen in a straight line,” rang true. But you can read all of the lyrics below –
[Verse 1]
It was a fun, strange summer
I rolled on, didn’t think of you
We lost touch with each other
Fall came and I had to move
[Pre-Chorus]
Movin’ backwards, hurt comes after
Healin’ doesn’t happen in a straight line
[Chorus]
If I cry just a little and then laugh in the middle
If I hate you and I love you, and then I change my mind
If I need just a little more time to deal with the fact
That you shoulda treated me right
Then I’m more than just a little justified
Mm, mm
I’m more than just a little justified
[Verse 2]
To touch somebody
You know I tried to make that you
And when you lied, said you didn’t want me
Tell me, what was I supposed to do?
[Pre-Chorus]
Movin’ onwards, feelin’ strong, but
Healin’ doesn’t happen in a straight line
[Chorus]
If I cry just a little and then laugh in the middle
If I hate you and I love you, and then I change my mind
If I need just a little more time to deal with the fact
That you shoulda treated me right
Then I’m more than just a little justified
Mm, mm
I’m more than just a little justified
[Bridge]
If I die just a little, inside just a little
If I want you and I call you, then I change my mind
If I need just a little more time to deal with the fact
That I shoulda treated you right
I’m more than just a little
[Chorus]
If I cry just a little and then laugh in the middle
And I hate you and I love you, and then I change my mind (A million times)
If I need just a little more time to deal with the fact
That you shoulda treated me right
Then I’m more than just a little justified
Mm, mm
I’m more than just a little justified
Her upcoming album, Star-Crossed, is described as, “a modern-day tragedy in three acts” that “tells an extremely personal journey of heartache and healing.”
We’re ready for it. Are you?
