Sorry About That
Broken Hearts and Hidden Emotions
Lyrics
It hasn't been that long
Reflecting on a recent past
Since we drank to the sunset, until it was gone
Recalling a moment of shared enjoyment
And down with it went our pain and fear
Linking the positive experience to relief from pain and fear
As we slowly broke contact
Describing a gradual distancing or detachment
More and more with every beer
Noting increased emotional distancing with alcohol consumption
And we passed out in each other's arms
Describing a shared state of unconsciousness
Both admitting we'd never felt better
Expressing mutual contentment
Never felt so warm
Highlighting a heightened emotional state
But awoke in each other's eyes
Describing a morning awakening
Without wearing a stitch of clothing
Emphasizing vulnerability without clothing
We were both deeply in disguise
Suggesting hidden emotions or facades
And maybe I just set aside
Admitting to overlooking the partner's pain
The fact that you were broken hearted
Acknowledging the partner's broken heart
In my own special selfish way
Exploring a self-centered coping mechanism
And if I hadn't set aside
Reiterating the act of ignoring the partner's pain
The fact that you were broken hearted
Highlighting the potential consequences
Hell knows where your heart would be today
Suggesting uncertainty about the partner's feelings
Maybe with me
Expressing a desire for the partner's heart
It seems like it's been so long
Commenting on the perceived passage of time
Since we kissed through the darkness
Recalling a moment of intimacy in darkness
Until it was dawn
Emphasizing the duration of the intimate moment
Up with it came our pain and fear
Associating renewed pain and fear with the morning
That we'd already lost each other
Acknowledging the awareness of an impending end
We both knew that the end was near
Conveying a shared realization of the relationship's demise
Maybe I just set aside
Repeating the act of setting aside the partner's pain
The fact that you were broken hearted
Reiterating the partner's broken heart
In my own special selfish way
Repeating the acknowledgment of the partner's broken heart
And if I hadn't set aside
Reiterating the potential consequences of neglect
The fact that you were broken hearted
Blank line for emphasis or transition
Hell knows where your heart would be today
Reiterating uncertainty about the partner's emotional state
Maybe with me Maybe with me
Speculating on an alternative scenario with the speaker
Maybe with me Maybe with me
Repeating the speculation of a possible connection
Maybe with me Maybe with me
