Discover the story of the song > Bandaid On A Bullet Hole – Morgan Wallen

The protagonist is trying to forget about his ex-girlfriend but nothing seems to be working. He's tried drinking whiskey and being with other people, but nothing fills the void she left. He compares his attempts to heal to trying to put a bandaid on a bullet hole or to tell a river to turn back around, emphasizing that it's just not working for him. The chorus repeats this metaphor several times, suggesting that he's hit a wall in his attempts to move on from his past relationship.
