Lyrics
I was being selfish you were feeling helpless and I could not see
I was self-centered, unaware of your distress, and unable to perceive it.
I never had a clue I was hurting you can you forgive me
I lacked awareness that my actions were causing you pain. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
That's not who I wanna be
Expressing a desire not to embody the selfish behavior exhibited.
That's not who I wanna be
Reiterating a commitment to change from the undesirable behavior.
This camera has captured your face
Referring to a photograph or a moment captured visually that involves the person addressed as "Madeline."
And no one will ever take your place
Emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of "Madeline" in the speaker's life.
Madeline
Directly addressing "Madeline."
Madeline
Repetition of the direct address to "Madeline" for emphasis.
I know I'll never find something as divine as what we've got here
Acknowledging the uniqueness and special nature of the speaker's relationship with "Madeline."
I hear you now and then when I feel the wind blowing in my ear
Suggesting a spiritual connection or a sense of presence even after physical separation.
That's not what you wanna hear
Recognizing that the speaker's current message may not align with what "Madeline" desires to hear.
That's not what you wanna hear
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the potential discord in communication.
This camera has captured your face
Repetition of the earlier reference to a captured moment involving "Madeline."
And no one will ever take your place
Reaffirming the irreplaceable role of "Madeline" in the speaker's life.
Madeline
Continuing the direct address to "Madeline."
Madeline
Repetition of the direct address for added emphasis.
Madeline
Additional repetition, perhaps emphasizing the significance of "Madeline."
Madeline
Final repetition, underlining the importance and permanence of "Madeline" in the speaker's life.
