The Greatest Mistake
Rising from Regret: André Bisson's Reflection on Redemption
Lyrics
Looking back the fiction from fact was as clear as yesterday.
Reflecting on the past, distinguishing between fiction and fact, with clarity akin to remembering yesterday.
The scene we’d become ain’t the surprise but how quickly you could throw it away
The surprising aspect is not the situation we became, but how swiftly it was discarded.
With a smile on his face and a hand on her waste that left me drowning in a sea of regret
A smiling person, with a hand on someone's waist, causing the speaker to feel overwhelmed with regret.
Though I’ll mend this old heart it seems worlds apart to forgive and never forget
While the speaker will heal, the emotional distance is vast, making forgiveness difficult without forgetting.
To forgive and never forget
Emphasizing the challenge of forgiving without forgetting.
I swear I don’t need you to make me complete
Asserting independence, claiming completeness without the need for the other person.
So do your worst, I’ll be back on my feet
Resilience in the face of challenges, confident in bouncing back from adversity.
Though my time with you has ended
Acceptance that the speaker's time with the person has concluded.
The happiness begins
Finding happiness anew as a new chapter begins.
All this putting me down has just helped thicken my skin
Adversity has toughened the speaker, turning negativity into strength.
Thanks to you I’ve found joy through headache; my greatest mistake
Gratitude for discovering joy amid challenges, considering the experience the "greatest mistake."
Now as time passes on and the nights don’t seem long and the mornings bring a smile to my face
Over time, nights become shorter, and mornings bring happiness, realizing a journey towards a better place.
I finally realize past the heartache and lies there’s a journey to a better place
Understanding that beyond heartache and lies lies the path to improvement.
And there ain’t no debate I’ve diminished the hate to focus on the road up ahead
Commitment to reducing hatred, focusing on the future ahead.
Your memory’s declined cause you ain’t worth my time there’s a future to work on instead
Diminishing the significance of the person in memory, prioritizing the future over dwelling on the past.
There’s a future to work on instead
Reiterating the importance of concentrating on the future rather than dwelling on the past.
I swear I don’t need you to make me complete
Reaffirming independence, stating completeness without reliance on the other person.
So do your worst, I’ll be back on my feet
Maintaining resilience, ready to overcome challenges and stand tall.
Though my time with you has ended
Acceptance that the speaker's time with the person has concluded.
The happiness begins
Finding happiness again as a new phase begins.
All this putting me down has just helped thicken my skin
Adversity has toughened the speaker, turning negativity into strength.
Thanks to you I’ve found joy through headache; my greatest mistake
Gratitude for discovering joy amid challenges, considering the experience the "greatest mistake."
Thanks to you I’ve found joy through heartache
Repeating the idea of finding joy through heartache, acknowledging the journey.
And I’ve taken all I can take
Expressing reaching a limit in endurance and making a firm decision.
And it’s no longer up for debate
Stating decisiveness, emphasizing that further discussion or consideration is unnecessary.
My greatest mistake
Reflecting on the entire experience as the "greatest mistake."
