I perceive the chorus "never mind your bleeding heart" as a reminder of the constant repeated message from the 'normal' world that she should act fine and not worry about her anxiety, whilst ignoring the deeper problems. She doesn't fit in, and discusses the pain of going through much of life fearful and regretful of social interactions. She begins as a loner throughout grade school, as an oddball/foreigner/introvert. She's in a bar reminiscing about the 'story' of her childhood- the 2nd person she refers to throughout the song is herself, either past or current. My InterpretationI see this as being totally autobiographical (the video confirms this, featuring old pics from Regina's childhood). How long must I dream till you heal your bleeding heart How long must I try till you learn that dreaming's hard How long must I cry till you know that you really tried
How long must I wait till you learn that it's not too late Someday you'll grow up and then you'll forgetĪnd you'll see their pain as they look awayĪnd you want to help, but there's just no wayĬause you won the war so it's not your turn Listening to that song, cause it hurts just right Staring at the walls of your jail-like home Your outfit's a crime, you feel their cold mindsĪnd you serve your time drinking all night long You can't help but stare at everyone there
Never never mind bleeding heart, bleeding heart When they see you around, you look down at the groundīut when they walk away you'd wish they'd stay Sitting out at the dance, so we're saying "no, thanks" You're at the back of the class, in the back of the bus When I was here last, at the back of the class What you got on tap, I'll take two of that
