Whatever This Is contrasts physical resilience with the unique, crushing pain of an unfixable heartbreak. The hook captures vulnerability against a love that can't be "toughed out." Perfect for a soulful country vocalist seeking an intense, big-chorus track.
Verse
I crawled from a wreck on Highway 9
Should’ve been gone but I made it out fine
I’ve been face down in a barroom fight
Still got back up ‘fore the end of the night
Pre-Chorus
I’ve lived through things that should’ve done me in
Yeah I always found a way back again
Chorus
But you’re standing there saying you’re done with us
I can hear in your voice you’ve had enough
I’ve seen the kind of hurt that leaves a scar
Felt that kind of loss, yeah I’ve come that far
Yeah I’ve made it through every hit and miss
But I ain’t never felt… whatever this is
Verse
Got thrown from a bull, hit the ground too fast
Knocked the wind out, thought it might be my last
I’ve hit black ice doing sixty-five
White-knuckled it just to stay alive
Pre-Chorus
I’ve pushed through fear, I’ve faced that edge
But I ain’t never felt this kind of dread
Chorus
Now you’re walking out and I can’t make you stay
Watching everything we built slip away
I’ve seen the kind of hurt that leaves a scar
Felt that kind of loss, yeah I’ve come that far
Yeah I’ve made it through every hit and miss
But I don’t know how to fight… whatever this is
Bridge
If it was a fall, I’d take that hit
But you don’t see this coming, not like this
You left your boots by the bedroom door
Like you ain’t coming back no more
Chorus
Now you’re gone and I’m here all alone
Every room in this house turned to stone
I hear your voice in the things you left
Like that “I love you” still stuck in my head
Yeah I’ve made it through every hit and miss
But I don’t think I’ll survive… whatever this is
