In "Heartbreak State Of Mind," Bash Croft moves from exaggerating small hurts into absolutes to realizing that grief distorts perception. The raindrop mistaken for a waterfall becomes the key image, shrinking back to ordinary rain once the pain settles. What felt like a lifelong grudge turns out to be a hill to climb, a tear to cry, and finally a truth to find. Letting go means stepping down from the pedestal and accepting that the end was not a betrayal but a necessary release.
Heartbreak State Of Mind Lyrics by Bash Croft
I thought a raindrop was a waterfall
I thought a drunk dial was an honest call
I said you cheated ’cause it helped me hate you
Turns out the reason doesn’t matter at all
Doesn’t matter at all
I took a ballpoint to a blank page
Trying to mean all the shit that I say
Suddenly, the raindrops, well, they were just rain
I thought this grudge was something I would hold for life
But it was a hill I had to climb
It was a tear I had to cry
I’m sorry I couldn’t forgive you at the time
It was a heartbreak state of mind
It was a heartbreak state of mind
When I was drowning in the shallow side
All I could see was that look in your eye
Telling me the best things will never be mine
Soon as I took you down off of the pedestal
You were just someone who had to let me go
And I know that now, it’s not your fault
I thought this grudge was something I would hold for life
But it was a hill I had to climb
It was a tear I had to cry
I’m sorry I couldn’t forgive you at the time
It was a heartbreak state of mind
It was a heartbreak state of mind
I thought this hill was somewhere I was gonna die
But it was a truth I had to find
It was a song I had to write
